I have never seen a real bear around, though.

Die of your own choice!"<br /><br />We went to a nature center last week and saw some black bears -- so beautiful and enormous. My brother-in-law told us about a guy who made himself a special suit so he could fight bears. (He's not alive any more...)

They are all around us if we just pause to pay attention. :0) A couple weeks ago I was visiting family in central Florida and saw some "bear" signs in a forested area near my stepsister's home. I grew up in Orlando, but there was more natural land around the city back then - not so many unsettling accounts of these encounters. I hope in your neck of the woods, your magnificent bear romps through your imagination and not your back yard!Robyn Hood Blackhttp://www.robynhoodblack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303906221917588052.post-38534162389259735102014-06-21T17:01:21.118-04:002014-06-21T17:01:21.118-04:00Seems to me, this bear that has been following you...Seems to me, this bear that has been following you around has become your power animal.
