So, there I was on the porch standing in shock 
This Big Mama Bear sitting right in front of me
On her butt on the grass!  Just feet away!
I thought something was wrong with her
It was a hot day, she was breathing heavy
I tried to open the door a little to get a photo 
But my hands were shaking and my heart racing
As she moved,  I couldn’t keep it steady
I was in a ‘once in a life time moment’ right then
I had never been so close to a bear that big
Then she got up and I realized she was ok
She turned around to walk across the yard
As I fumbled with the door still shaking….
I finally got a photo, from behind in the distance
  -----As she entered the trees to leave---
        ----I said goodbye to my friends---
                   ----Until next time---

That would've been an awesome sight to see you're quite fortunate Heidi where you live and get to see the things in nature You get to see.

Hi Edward. Yes, it was a once in a life time moment, that close to the mother bear from the porch. I am very grateful to see everything I do in this beautiful place I live. Thank you :)

Yes, it would have been more amazing if I could have gotten the photo of the mother just off my porch sitting in front of me, but I couldn't manage that. I could only get her walking away. I am happy to share it. Thanks :)
