midnight snack

Today I went out on my 'investigation.' Instead of bear spray, I had my camera as a weapon; you know, to throw at it, if it were still nearby. 

Instead of trash, I found what looked like a grocery bag full of dairy products. Lucky bear! Sour cream, miracle whip, and lots of yogurt. 
Look at how the bear was able to get the lids off! So dextrous! I think when I can't get salsa jars open I should just go ask my neighborhood bear from now on.  
Hopefully the bear didn't have a 'rumbly in his tumbly' today... 
I sure would after a snack like this. yuck.

Wow - so do you guys have to lock up your garbage so that the bears aren't encouraged to come garbage hunting? I bet there are all kinds of things you have to do there in AK that we would never even think about stateside!! I just watched some show on grizzlies on Animal Planet the other day, where they had to both relocate and humanely euthanize many grizzlies because of their coming around humans for garbage. That, and some people feed them, and when they're "fed" bears, they HAVE to be killed. So sad. People think they're helping the bears by feeding them, but they're giving them a death sentence!!! Anyway, glad you didn't actually "meet" Mr. Bear!!! :)

hey Taryn! :o) Mark takes our nice camera (a Nikon D90) on his trips with him, so while he's gone I use my little purse camera, a Canon A570.. I think. :o) It's a great point and click!!
