Traditionally the bears near Durango are supposed to wake up on tax day, April 15. I think our bear woke up about a week ago (the dog has been out in the middle of the night to chase something twice last week) and I finally saw the bear around 6AM Sunday morning crossing the field. I ran ran ran to get my glasses, camera and shoes, and by then he had walked out our driveway and was crossing the road.
He headed on down towards our neighbor’s Honey House
very calmly.
There’s a sapling obscuring this shot, but can you see how the hair on his neck stands up like a mane? and look how completely he turns under his foot with each step.
Glad he’s back.
