The Bears are out

We've been up at Stoney Point Ranch a lot lately mainly to see the bears.  I've not been able to take photos due to my camera being broke.  But it is so much fun to watch this mother bear and her three cubs.  There is this lady who has a nice pond behind her where these bears like to come and stay for hours.  The cubs play in the water for a while and then the cubs will go up into a tree and lay on these limbs and take a nap while mother bear lays at the bottom of the tree.  This past week another mother bear with one cub started coming.  We noticed that like horses bears seem to have a "pecking" order.
The last mommy bear would wait for the bear with the three cubs to leave then she would take her cub down to the pond to play and eat.  Like I said it was a lot of fun to watch them.  Hopefully they will stay around for me to get some photos.

We have also been getting a lot of rain lately.  Our creek which has been dry most of the year has met us with a loud, rushing sound of water running across the rocks each time we drive down our dirt road to our new house which should be completed soon. 

Well I need to stop this blog for now and get ready for Church. 

See you in the wilderness.
