Patience Is A Virtue
"A tunn of fun"
Many times we come across something that one of us wants a photo of for whatever reason. Keep in mind that neither of us possess the whole "patience is a virtue" thing, but if we want it badly enough we grin and bear it. Waiting for quite some time for the scene to be clear of traffic from both directions there were literally two or three seconds to capture this image. It was a beautiful Fall day to be outside - what better way to spend our time anyway?

The Culprit
After being stuck on Laurel Creek Road on our way to Cades Cove, we eventually found out why. There was a bear family in the distance high in a tree. We managed to capture this little one - notice the chest blaze. Although this was taken from quite a distance at 550mm, the image is cropped to show that he (or she) appeared to be looking right at us.

Felicia
Don't let this smirk fool you. The first time we saw this beautiful bear was early in the morning as we took our dog outside. We didn’t notice her, and she didn’t expect us, surprised she stood, outside our front door on her hind legs looking bewildered only a few feet away. We scooped up our dog and immediately took him back inside. With the knowledge that he still had to potty, and the fact that she hadn't left, we blew a whistle – that didn’t deter her. Knowing what might work, umbrellas often scare bears, so by using a whistle and large umbrella we managed to chase her off. ☂️ Being that close to our front door made us realize she’s found human food, whether intentional or not. She continued to pass through over the summer, but if she kept her distance, we let her wander through or relax for a bit. Each time she approached the door, out came the whistle and umbrella again! We only had to do this once with Ellis, but three times for her. This is an image where she kept her distance but could see us through the glass. She may not be very fond of us, but for her safety we'd rather she wasn't. We haven’t seen “Felicia” for a few weeks so hopefully she’s finding plentiful natural food sources in the area.
Bye, Felicia... we wish you well.

Scruffy
Scruffy has been visiting our property for a couple of years now. We often know when she's here because our motion lights come on or our cloud cam captures her. What we didn't know was that she has kits! Not sure if she has four or five, but we have seen as many as five, although one could be tagging along. She usually passes through at night but this time she and her kits came by during the day. Here she is smiling for the camera. :) Not really, this was taken through the glass.

Bob
We'd like to introduce you to Bob, aka "Big Ole' Bear". He has passed through our property for several years now, but we've never been able to capture his image as he's very skittish - as most bears are. He's old and VERY large (one of the largest we've ever seen!) so when he decided to take a break and lie down for a bit, we captured his image through the glass but he didn't see us. He has before and taken off into the woods. We were lucky this time. 🐻
