Deserving of respect
On 12 May 2012, I spent a wonderful (17 hour!) day of scenery and bears, thanks to friends Cathy and Terry, who so kindly invited me along with them! We even spent some of the time in B.C. (British Columbia), the next province to our west, and were so lucky to see six bears in total. Our first Bear was a Black Bear that looked rather like a huge rock in the distance. The second sighting was an adult Cinnamon Bear, after which we saw an adult Black Bear. The final sighting was a beautiful family of a female with her two cubs, one of which was black and the other was cinnamon. None of the Bears approached cars, hoping for food. They quietly went about their feeding, for the most part without even lifting their eyes from the ground.
The usual "thoughtless" people were there, too, getting out of their cars and approaching, so that they could get closer photos. Bears are wild and wildlife tends to be unpredictable. You really would think that people could keep this in mind and not approach, but stay safely in their cars - and give the animals plenty of space and respect. Perhaps I should add that I used full zoom (which was 32x on my old FZ40), lol!!! The weather was so good that day, but the sun was very harsh and played havoc with my images. Managed to salvage this image and a few others, and they seem to look OK at this size.

Black Bears can EXCEED speeds of ~50 kph (~31 mph) ... human's top speed is ~37 kpm (~23 mph) ... so two things, you will have to run faster than Donovan Bailey or at least faster than your Friend ... LOL!!
