This bear was 25 ft from me. I took the photo from my front deck. She brought her two Cubs and has been here twice before, within a week. It’s a little nerve-wracking.

I hope everyone is excited after the blue tsunami!

I’ve had a few social events this past week. I met a man hiking and we went out for dinner and to the Benjamin Walls Gallery. I had a nice time. The gallery was impressive! I’m hoping to become friends with him. He has a vineyard and I’ll be going over there tomorrow to check it out.

I had a new friend over for brunch this past weekend. She invited me to her place for Thanksgiving. Yesterday, I went on a 7-mile hike with one of the groups I hike with. A fellow hiker had a cute dog on the hike.

I took a few photos of the river we hiked along. It’s amazing the patterns that are made in rushing water

I hope everyone has a great week!
