Zippy and I are visiting my sister at her home in the Poconos. I was in the kitchen earlier today when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. A quite large black bear!
When I shouted in surprise, the bear stopped and looked at me with absolute nonchalance and then continued strolling along.
This is only my second black bear sighting, the first was when we lived in Alaska and were on a hike up to the Harding IceField. That one was smaller and younger, and much more eager to get out of sight.
Not gonna lie, I’m very glad I was inside when this black bear paid a visit.

I’ve been hyper-alert today, I think. Catching movement and turning to check it out in case the big guy came back. 🙂

I also thought it was big but my sister said she’s seen much larger black bears here. Yikes.
