No lions or tigers but there was a BEAR!!!!!!

"If the bear decides to come at us, make sure you get a really good photo before it attacks."
I swear that was said today as this black bear walked within about 150ft (46 meters) of us. Lol

It was lumbering away from us and only stopped once to stare.
It is definitely the closest we have been to a bear in the wild.
It was a little scary but not very since it was obviously ignoring us.
It was totally amazing!!!!
I was so excited that I was having trouble actually taking the photo.
If you zoom in, you can really see the colors in his fur.
