Bear Season again in Tahsis

Roger looks at the bear, the bear looks at Roger

I was showing a house on Alpine View to a couple (Anne and Roger), when we surprised a bear in the back yard gorging on the fallen plums.

He took off across the fence, and ran to the front of the neighbouring house... Anne had a camera in her purse & I had my digital camera, so we dashed to the front yard to photograph the bear (not actually a very good idea, but in the heat of the moment…).

When we went to the front of the house, the bear ran back to the garden again. So we asked Roger to go back to the garden, so hopefully the bear would come to the front again. We hid behind the hedge until the bear trotted back our way, but as soon as we popped out to take a picture, he went back again, and this time went through the bushes to head back towards the river.

Even though the photos we got weren’t that close up, we did get a close look at him when he was leaving the garden in the first place, and he (or she) was a very handsome looking bear with very thick healthy looking fur.. really a beautiful creature.

Just some of the adventures of being a Realtor in Tahsis…
