Bathing Bear

This little one was first spotted last year with a sibling and momma and has since "moved into the area" to stake a claim. Has been making a lot of appearances over the past few months but today we finally caught some pics of a favorite past-time, bathing. This is at a small water-shed down below my place with a retention pool, this cat comes-up and goes for a swim about once a day. Pics are not that good but...humorous live, like watchin' a little kid at a swimming pool. Excellent looking animal, very healthy so far...

+1 to that!
Very cool pics thanks for posting!

You need to turn the bubbles off.

Looks a lot better than the yearling I saw a few months ago at Radium. He was shedding his winter coat and looked pretty ragged.

That is really neat... thanks for sharing [Beer]

That is cool!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. This is one of the many reasons I love Colorado! Just don't get mauled. [LOL]

I think you should get video of you chasing him off with a broom!

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Great pics. Thanks

Hangin' out at the end of my driveway this evening, carousing and eatin'...very cool just observing this awesome creature doin' nothing but livin'.

Ya know, that's probably one of the reasons I'm not a hunter. I'd probably like to take a deer or an elk, I'm certainly not morally opposed to it. But I get such a thrill out of just watching wild critters and taking photos of them. I mean, ya have a freakin' bear hanging out around your place, and that fox too, how cool is that? How could someone shoot critters that are like friends? As long as they're no threat....man, I could watch 'em for hours.

very nice, and great pics, thanks

Thats an awesome pic!

Oh thank god... I was a little worried that you may have been hanging out down in the Springs lately.

Awesome pics. Thanks. I can't seem to get my bears or lions on the motion cam. I need to upgrade I guess.

Very cool!!
