One of the great things about the mountains is you never know what you are going to see through a window while working on ActiveRain. I saw these guys and ran upstairs to get the camera. Got them Just as they were leaving the yard. This family has been through our yard before and the cubs are just adorable. This picture is in the gated community of Big Canoe. So if you think gated communities are all about manicured lawns and postage stamp yards think again. The North Georgia Mountains are beautiful . Call your Big Canoe and for that matter North Georgia experts here at All Mountain Realty. For now enjoy the photo.
They Bearly had time to stay

Driving through our neighborhood I noticed a Big Rock on the road. I thought I need to stop and move this before some one comes around a turn and hits it. As I was about to get out of my car my wife stopped me and pointed up into the woods,
I looked up and it was Peek-a Bear!!!! This young Bear was peeking out from behind a tree. He and his sibling were playing rolling rocks down the hill. Perhaps he would have sprung out and said the Bear equivalent of Surprise! At that point I would have had the Fred Sanford equivalent of "The Big One!" What a great sight.We know he was a juvenile because he was with his sibling in the distance
Notice in this photo the bear in the back who is the sibling. In the fore ground of the photo is the hiding bear behind the tree you see in the first picture. Think you know what gated communities are all about ? These pictures are in North Georgia's Premier Mountain gated community Big Canoe. Talk to your mountain experts at All Mountain Realty if you are looking for mountain property. Enjoy these photos and our bear experience.

So here we are Sunday Morning. Raining AGAIN here in North Georgia. We are eating breakfast in the living room watching TV. Naughty us! When suddenly a face appear in the window a couple of feet away from us. It is the first Black Bear we have seen this season. Talk about a morning wake up! This guy was probably about 1 to 1 1/2 years old. I made the mad dash for the camera. But he was gone. He did leave evidence that he was here though!
I will have camera at the ready and hopefully get a picture of the rest of him to share. In terms of safety here are the things to remember with black bears. NEVER get between a mother and her cubs. If you see cubs be very careful because mom is not far away. Also if a bear stands it s ground with you an Humpffs. It has cubs some where and will take you on.
For other situations stand as tall as you can and make noise at the bear. If you turn and run you better have Carl Lewis speed because they will chase you. But if you stand your ground and make noise they are shy and will turn and leave.
SPRING is now officially here for us!!!
