The Last Bass Outpost

She doesn't seem to be aggressive, just inquisitive, but with two cubs to protect that can of course change quickly. But as long as the human inhabitants stay on their side of the window, all seems to be well, give or take periodic re-purchases of pool floats obviously not designed to withstand brown bear claws and teeth.

I've seen black bears this oblivious to human civilization, but not brown bears (I've learned that a Grizzly is a brown bear sub-species, but Californian Grizzlies as another sub-species are extinct, so she and her cubs are brown bears, not Grizzlies).

If this happened in Germany in the few regions where we still have brown bears a state of national emergency would have already been called.  West Coast relaxation about things can be admirable sometimes.

Goes to show that male gay couples are just more appreciative of the needs of a single mom with two children and no swimming pool!

This is a humanitarian gesture of immense proportions - you'll go to heaven for resurrecting that poor bass from what it has gone through!




PS: Scott, I'll never say a word about you sawing up that TBird once for a deeper cutaway again, your original sin cannot be forgotten, no, but it now has been dwarfed beyond relevance. 

Thanks, Veronica.
It's not so rred IRL. Plus I had the wrong WB setting on that early AM shot. A bit rusty on the photo skills.
