A wonderful collage A.G. conjured from memories of your childhood. Love the animation as the bear approaches.
Bear were a common sight in my childhood. I remember one time picking berries, with my grandmother and another cousin, in New Brunswick when we saw a lone black bear across the berry patch.
Grandmother said, “We won’t bother him and he won’t bother us.”
Then we quickly headed for home. She always warned us not to ever get between Mama bear and her cub. There were a lot of bears around but they never seemed to bother anyone.
There are no bears here on P.E.I. but New Brunswick has hundreds of black bears.
