Did you eat the blueberries or did you leave them for the hungry bear?

How come there are no shots of the bear ??? We joke that if my husband and I see one while we are out hiking that he is going to have to pick me up and carry me down the trail because I'm going to be standing there with my camera.

Love wild blueberries!! Great shot.

My back was out so no chance of going down for these .. My good buddy took the shot for us .. We printed and framed this and sent it up to their cottage as a thank you gift for having us, I thought it'd be nice to post his share for him, it was on my card after all .. lol
