Can't See The Bear For The Trees

Can't See The Bear For The Trees

In the summer of 2006 I visited one of my dearest friends, Danijela. We went for a walk around the National Park Plitvice where she lives. Danijela was constantly trying to scare me with the stories of feckless tourist (she meant me) being attacked by the bear and/or wolfs that are plentiful in the region.

When I heard a noise in the forest and looked up to see where it was coming from, I got a fear of my life. (For the record, I am not a chicken, but I am really scared of bears).

What scared me so? Can you see it in the last photograph?

This song is for you Danci.

burbulz if you meet a bear - will you run or pretend dead?

etodd80 I really like #2, i am a sucker for a good silhouette. I can't see the bear! :-)

dae88 here I go again... in the title it should read "For" instead of "From" (as in "Can't See the Forest for the Trees"). I mark this up as a Croatian writing English with an Irish accent... Sorry.

And you're really starting to spook me. I've recently been thinking of a story between me and my wife and a dream she had about the two of us and a bear in the forest. I'm not going to share.

And what is etodd80 talkin' about... it's right there.

jenjung great set! is it that thing in the middle of the picture that looks like a bear's face? i'm kind of nervous about seeing bears when i go to yosemite - not too keen on meeting wildlife that can kill me : )

jagungal a sensational set!!! Yep, I can see the bear! Each of these images is very striking. I think #3 is my favourite.

DancingDolphin Bears are not on my list of favorite animals either.

Do you know the story "Sophie's Choice"? One time while camping, both my children (under 5 years old at the time) were sleeping inside the tent when a bear came and stood beside it. While my husband kept his eye on the bear, I went into the tent to get the kids... only to find out I couldn't carry TWO sleeping children... I had to choose one of them to take out first.

jvdgriendt Went also to the plitvice lakes. Its stunning there. Have to make some posts of it. But these are super...

makaid Number 2 is amazing. There is a sense of dynamic energy between the fish and the duck, held in check by the water around them.

langosta Great set.
