Great series Bob! The squirrel was pretty scary, you used a long lens I hope...

I have never seen a bear in the wild, it's on my bucket list. I will happily wait until I own some longer glass though! :thumbsup:

It is what it is.

That squirrel photo is excellent, looks like it was misty that day but that's nice and sharp. The close up of the bear is really good but I like the third photo the best, I like the composition with the bear framed by the foliage. Beautiful work Bob.

I haven't been to the Smokies in a long time, but I saw a bear close enough camping there once, it was in a picnic area, sat there and popped open a little Igloo cooler as easy as we open a can of pop.
