Today winter really began.
364 Days ago, last winter began. On that day, Tiny the Black Bear walked westward toward his den. Notice the -11°F temperature in the upper right of the photo.
A short time later, he was even more covered in frost.
Those were the last photos of him until May of this year. He must have snuggled into a den almost immediately after he passed my trail cameras.
I wonder if Tiny is walking to his den now. I've noticed that some bears time their walk toward their dens almost to the day, every single year.
Brrr! I just love the first photo of them. So sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou can tell from the first photograph that they want you to release them so they can romp in the snow. I'm nowhere near ready for winter.
ReplyDeleteR and Shyla look like they really love the snow! My dogs like it, too.. for all of 5 minutes! LOL! We've been getting winter weather, too!
ReplyDeleteLet the fun begin!
ReplyDeleteR & Shyla always take full advantage of the winter wonderland,
we can tell they love it.
Happy Crazy Love those two.

ReplyDeleteWe are hiding the screen from the two snow dogs here - they would be so jealous:)
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to catch Tiny on his way again this year.
we love seeing those happy snow dogs! Tis brrrrr bear season.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is beautiful and you guys look like you're having so much fun! I guess I'm just not a Winter-loving weenie. The snow would bury me and they wouldn't find me until spring! :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun playing in the snow. Fantastic photos. Love the bear pics
ReplyDeleteThe bear pictures make me smell Winter!
ReplyDeleteIt's still a bit early here for the bears to tuck themselves in, I think. I'll hold off on filling the birdfeeder for a while yet. But pretty soon!
Shyla and R are like 2 excited little kids,,,, excited about the snow,,.. and all the fun they will have with mom!!!
ReplyDeleteThat bear is smart!! Thats why!
We love your snow photos!
