Bear With Me! Don’t Do This!

APtravelnews-Ely, Minnesota-A couple of summers ago! Barb and I wanted to see bears and we heard that there were wild bears at the Vince Shute Bear Viewing Sanctuary. Shute began leaving peanuts out for bears so they wouldn’t break into his cabin anymore. They weren’t tame at all, but were used to seeing people watching them. However, the people watched them from a distance and a safe viewing platform. We came before the platform was build and I took a chance letting Barbara get close to the sow bear and her cubs. In the image you can see the mother just before she turned and woofed at Barbara to stay back. The bear didn’t charge, Barb and I both got the picture we wanted and we both backed off. I shot this with a telephoto lens-frankly, Barb was way too close, but this time we got the bear, the bear didn’t get us!!!!

This is how not to photograph wildlife, especially a bear with cubs, especially not!

They were visiting a very dangerous, yet picturesque overlook of the ocean. Amazingly, he survived with major injuries.  Another event also covered by the national media was a child slipping off a steep embankment, only saved by a relative, unsafely, but still being able to reach the child before he and the child would have been dashed on the granite rocks below.

We hear of missing children when a parent turned away for a moment and child walked away from their view or worse, grabbed by a devious stranger.  Today, there is simple, workable solution to keep a child very close and without the young one whining and pulling on their parents arm when tired or bored  in their short attention span, during a walk in the park, or shopping mall. “Riding the Bar”of  the Piggyback Rider keeps children safe and attentive too!
