Black Bear, Orr, Minnesota

As Karen and I continue to live in hotels while waiting to close on our house, my camera gear remains in storage. I could have used it this weekend while I was out walking the dog. I spotted black bears wandering through town on consecutive days. So until I can photograph Connecticut’s black bears, here’s a shot of Minnesota’s that I captured a few years back. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/800th of a second.
