Friday was the first full day of school and I thought I would enjoy the sunshine and take my dog for a 5km walk around the neighbourhood while the kids were at school.
It was a beautiful day with clear skies and we were about halfway home, walking along a slough that we usually see plenty of birds, squirrels and other wildlife at. It was unusually quiet and then I realized why – there was a rather large Black Bear just across the slough!
Luckily my dog didn’t spot it and kept quiet so I crouched down and took a short video as he sauntered away.
The bear walked away from the slough and into an area that is all fields and bush. I warned a few other walkers heading that direction to keep an ear out but honestly felt quite amazed and honoured to have seen such a magnificent creature up so close!
This post is not Road Trip related, but it was too cool not to share! It is also a good reminder that sometimes you do not have to drive far from home, all you need to do is explore your own neighbourhood to experience the wonders of nature.
