Spring certainly has arrived; white has become browny-green, and there are animals everywhere! The challenge is to capture them on my old Nokia with its wide angle lens! The star of the show is the elusive yet imperious bear.

In the spring the bears awake and hunt for a feast; we share a joint fear of being the feast, yet a desire to be close to it. The bear is big, the bear is fast, and the bear may well eat you!

The hares epitomise the spring. They dart around with unbelievable energy and fill the whole forest with a sense of life. Basically, there's a reason why we call spring, spring. Suddenly the forest is alive! There are birds, big and small, sounds of life everywhere, and the plants are sprouting everywhere.
We also see a lot of foxes, and have seen a few elk - a very large and very strange animal!
But back to the bear, I have been a little too close to a bear a few times. They dart towards our car, sometimes in pairs, and growl.
