Dang, Dick, you're a crazy man! You risked your life for this one...well-deserving of a POTD and then some! Beautiful capture of light on both the bear and plants. Congrats!

Thank you all for your generous comments. I was in no real danger so long as the acorns held out. He was much more interested in eating them than photographers. :) Sincerely appreciated, Dick:)

He is so handsome, but please keep him near you. We have too many pesky types as is. Enjoyed visiting with you.
