The First Bear Sighting

As we were driving to Lake Louise from Banff, traffic slowed to a crawl.  We assumed there was a critter of some kind, but we had no idea what.  When we had our turn, what to our wondering eyes should appear, but a sweet baby grizzly, but no mama – oh dear!  The baby was chowing down on a bush, but we could not find mama anywhere. He was really cute – as long as we were in the car!



Then not a few miles down, traffic slowed again.  This time, unfortunately, a man got out of his car and scared this little guy away.  We did get a view of him – a little black bear, maybe a year old.  He was surely cute, but we only had a fleeting view of him.  

I love bears and cannot get enough of them, so the fact that we have already seen two is a good omen!
