Bear sighting

While bears aren't rare in the Smokies, seeing one is an unusual and exciting event. I got my camera up and fired three shots. This is the best one, though admittedly not a very good one.

SONY SLT-A77V 1/4 second F/16.0 ISO 1600 157 mm (35mm equiv.)

With the way bears can move when they are hunting fish, it does make it hard to get the pose you'd prefer. I like this one.

Looks like he's got himself precariously perched on the rocks!! He must be trying for the best spot to catch some fish.
