Taste of Kiwi

This photo was taken at Bear Country in South Dakota, USA. Mr. Munro and I loved watching the bears because some of them were real characters. This one wasn’t letting any traffic past.

This photo was taken at Bear Country in South Dakota. We wanted to make sure we saw plenty of bears and this is a black bear. As well as bears we saw bison, moutain lions, and otters to mention a few. To visit other Camera Critters go here.

We’ve had a busy couple of days with mixed results. The rafting/salmon snorkeling adventure was lots of fun. After a rainy morning the sun came out. The rain chased everyone else away and Mr. Munro and I were the only customers. I didn’t snorkel since I have trouble seeing stuff without my glasses. There were so many salmon it was easy to spot them from above. I sat back and enjoyed going over the baby rapids in the raft. (Levels 1 & 2 for the rafting experts out there)

Here’s a shot of the salmon and one of me enjoying the day.

The bear-watching portion of our trip, that we’d looked forward to for months, was really disappointing. It’s the start of the season and, of course, there are wild animals involved who don’t perform on cue. We both knew this. We saw three grizzly bears grazing on grass at an inlet when we arrived. When we arrived at the viewing area everyone made so much noise the bears moved on. Understandable from the bears’ point of view. Right at the end we saw a bear on the road. Once again the rest of the group pushed and shoved and I ended up with a quick glimpse and no photo. As I said – really disappointing. Maybe another time.

On the plus side the scenery was gorgeous and the sunset spectacular. The rainforest reminds me of our bush at home. Oh, and the sun shone for the entire afternoon and the seas were smooth. It wasn’t all bad. We’re going to put bear-watching back on the bucket list for another day.
