Out on Hyatt rd. this guy was chewing on branches. I thought he was waving to us but he was just reaching for a choice branch.

 

I don’t know if it was the texture or the taste

 

But what ever it was it really hit the spot.

 

No, I am not that close to the bear, I’m using an 18-200mm lens so I was able to be at a safe distance.

 

He was very busy getting his daily dose of cellulose fiber  

 

and not concerned at all with the crowd of on lookers. 

 

Next time you go to Cade's Cove look up in the trees, I mean way up in the trees, you never know what you might see.
