Summer Sighting

He frolicked through the grass And then he clambered up a tree, Gazing at the cars all filled With wide-eyed folk like me. The traffic slowed so everyone Could get a little peek At the black bear yearling (give or take), The highlight of the week. It's such a treat to catch a glimpse Of wildlife in the wild. Perhaps that bear, confronting us, Was equally beguiled.

We have bear sightings all the time in Florida, although I have never seen one up close. That must have been an interesting sight. Great write, Ilene! Blessings!
