I thought I saw a bear!

As I was walking up the steep bank from a field pond, this gave me cause for pause.

Of course it turned out to be the base of a fallen tree...but for a second there...:yikes

Still not much cookin' here. Here are some Mallards that didn't allow me to sneak up on them.

Great BIFs of mallards! Is that first photo the image of a roof top? :dunno

Edit: Duh! If I would have read more carefully I would have known what it was.

Thanks, Glenn.:D

The mind is a funny thing, sometimes. Logic has little value when survival is at stake. There probably hasn't been a bear on this land for a hundred years!
