I am sitting in my downstairs office and through the window a shape catches my eye. I baby bear is walking up my back deck steps. I rush for the camera. As I get the camera and go upstairs to catch baby on the deck there is a HUMPFFF. Mama has arrived with cub 2 and is in my driveway. Junior scampers back down the stairs and so I run back down the stairs. Mama cuffs junior as if to say, " You are not supposed to be up there". Mothers are always looking out for their children. This picture is of them running off into the woods once I came out. You can make out 2 shapes. Not my best bear picture I know. But a good bear event.
Next time I will try to be faster with the camera. This is mountain living , and why we love our North Georgia Mountains

OMG....all those bears on your property????? I can feel my heart racing just thinking about that!!!
Wow, I'm not sure that the first thing i'd think of reaching for would be a camera.
Ok, is this a regular occurrence, have you seen them before? Do you have animals? Are you living alone? What if they come back and you are outside? Are you garbage cans secure? I have more but this will do!
Charlie ---- great event --- like my granddaughter says about her trying to get a lizard on our porch "they are faster than my hands"
Hi Charlie:
I would have loved to see a close up of the little cubs.
Where's that camera, when you need it!!!
Just like a good real estate pro - grab the camera first! You live in a beautiful area so no wonder the bears like it too.
