As I was waiting for the bus to head home today, I happened to check out my e-mail and much to my surprise I got an email from a fellow bus Rider, Rosie, saying that our friend Scott was going to bear-sit a mamma and two cubs. Apparently earlier in the day the bears were next to Wonderland Lake in North Boulder but after heading South into the neighborhood the bears found a perch in a large Cottonwood.  Seeing that I had my camera gear for taking staff head shots today I decided that I just couldn’t miss the opportunity of seeing them or taking photos. Luckily I did go as I had a few hours of watching the cubs play while the mamma bear just slept in the tree. I left just before a storm passed through and heard from Scott later that the bears left the tree in the night and headed back towards the lake. Hopefully they’re now back in their natural surroundings.
