*** May 2026 Image & Video Thread ***

As I’ve posted in the past, I live about 15 miles east of Boulder, which is itself nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. I say this because while it's not uncommon to see wildlife - like bears and cougars - wander into Boulder, it's a bit more rare (but not unheard of) out where I live in Erie.

Anyway, on Tuesday evening there were posts about a black bear in a nearby town that was just a few miles south of my home. Then on Wednesday, there were reports of him lumbering through Erie, finally parking himself in a tree for an afternoon rest, again only a few miles from my house, but this time to the north. Somebody put the location on FB, so I decided to see if I could catch a few shots. Here's my fav, with him looking right at me, and, well, drooling. Hmmmm. Time for me to go, I suppose.

It looks like the local CBS news channel is going to show the image tonight; we shall see.

Teh bear... hungers. ^_-
 
He’s still being spotted. Seems to be headed west now, which is towards the foothills, which is a good thing. Hopefully there are no bad interactions with humans and he is allowed to disappear back into the woods. Might get there tomorrow at this pace.
