Allie took this lovely photo of me today, and it'll be my new avatar for a while anyway!
Moments after this picture was taken, we nearly walked into a black bear on the trail.
@eearroyo1312 We made good choices. Those choices were to walk away loudly and not pause for pictures.
I've seen people do stupid things for wildlife photos on the trail before, and chided them. Not gonna be that person!
@wlonk sounds sensible. Honestly, i wouldn't even know what to do π¬
@eearroyo1312 The "proper" thing is to back away, but we turned around; then again, the ground was uneven, and backing away we would likely have tripped and made the situation worse, so?
@wlonk it's a good picture!
But
Is there no picture from the bear?
