Welcome to Saturday Sparks 686!
Starting off today's party with a close encounter!
This group of fauna were grazing in our backyard one late afternoon.
We were enjoying their visit when suddenly this well fed bruin came into view.
The group stood laser focused on the black bear.
He lumbered his way across the field, taking notice of the wildlife all the while.
Eventually, he wandered into the woods seemingly without a care.
For this, I am thankful.
