Here's the second update to my bear 'photo' story.
I changed walking trails due to wildlife adventures getting to adventurous.
While walking back along the county road south of the house, I glanced over to my right to see a young buck whitetail deer coming out of the deep grass just going to jump into the ditch. Oh, -- Oh, this would make a nice picture. He had one prong on each horn and still had velvet on. He was surprised and froze. Good. I had my coveralls on, so I had to wrestle my phone out of it's holster, inside the coverall, --- inconspicuously. I got it out and turned it on, good, now I have to point out that I've been charging up the phone more often, so no 'low battery' sign. Good. For the first time ever I got a white rectangle asking what I'd like to do now, would I like to take a selfie, NO, not now, Would I like to take a 'burst', NO, not now, would I like to take a photo, yes, and only two taps of my finger got the camera into action. I swung the phone up and tried to find the buck, --- over there, his white tail and bum just disappearing into the bush. ----- I dang near swore.

Bear pictures and bear stories. What a wonderful hot rod site
I was shocked. It might have been his own son or daughter. That, my friends, is the kindness of Mother Nature.
Last night around dusk, I was sitting at the computer, facing out the front window overlooking the porch. A young buck strolled through the front yard not 20 feet from me. I didn't count points but I'd guess a two year old and with velvet on his antlers.
Lately I'm entertained by tree frogs that take up residence on the same front window.[P My desk lamp attracts moths and the moths attract the tree frogs. There's three of them; small medium and large. Last night just Small and Large were dining and I was amused watching. Much better than pro sports and a whole lot less politics. Small sat motionless while a very large moth flitted about, eventually getting in range of Small. Small attacked but found the moth to be more than a mouthful and full of fight. The struggle lasted for several seconds when Large came over to take command. He deftly snatched the large moth and swallowed it in a couple gulps, taking Small along with it!

We had a bear pass through a while ago. It tipped over one of my brothers's bee hives. Not any damage, something must have scared it off

LOL, you just can't win for trying! Maybe power the phone up before you go for a stroll.

Oh, Mav, you've caught onto my 'photographic' lifestyle. Unlucky. I should look through the settings and click on 'take a picture immediately', instead of the default position of 'fiddle around until the scenery has changed, then allow the camera to work'.
The good thing about building hotrods is that I can take pictures of the built stuff, because it doesn't move fast enough to avoid my camera speed.

Thanks Crate, I didn't see that one coming.
There's a lesson hidden in that story. When you finally realize that reality IS real, [whether you like it or not], and ghosts are a figment of your imagination, then you feel better.

'Bear photo' update.
After lunch I headed out the north door of the house and walked east towards the shop, wondering where I should go walking today. As I passed the north-east corner of the house I put my hand on the rainbarrel and there was a black bear coming west, but going to go by the house on the south side. I ducked back behind the corner, hoping he didn't see me. My phone was again inside my coveralls and charged. I fumbled it out and turned it on while I went back in through the north door, cut through the car garage and came out on the south west corner determined to get you guys a good shot. I had powered up the camera and wouldn't you know it, there was a white rectangle full of nice options. As I age, the printing on the phone gets smaller and fuzzier, and it turns out when a bear is approaching me at close range, my reading skills deteriorate even further. I finally got the option I needed. [This white box of options only happens when wild animals are near you]. The bear never came, so I peaked around the corner, camera ready, nothing.
He must have sensed me and run away. So I almost got another good picture for you.
I made up my mind not to go for that walk at all today.

Mac, while I was reading your post, I was imagining you doing all this dancing around so naturally I had to laugh [cl[ddd

I'll rob one of Torchie's sayings, "Thanks for following along, Guys."
Dr. Crank, I might still be trying to crawl away even if the 'experts' say I should lie there peacefully. I'm funny that way.

A man was walking along a Californian beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie. The genie said "OK, OK. You released me from the lamp, blah blah blah. This is the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three. You only get one wish!"
The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?" The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible. Think of the logistics of that! How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific? Think of how much concrete...how much steel!! No - think of another wish."
The man agreed and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women....know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment....know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say 'nothing'....know how to make them truly happy...."
The genie said, "You want that bridge to be two lanes or four?"
