Wordless Wednesday…An Unexpected Delight

Good morning Kathy. Be patient. The best things happen unexpectedly is a mantra for many things, even a bear sighting. Enjoy your day. 

Hello Kathy - it wasn't exactly a Goldilocks moment but I have seen at least three bears while out and about but never an armadillo.  

Good Morning Kathy, Birds...Yes - Armadillo...No - Coyotes...NEVER - Bears...Only if they are as cute like the one you came upon!

It's the very simple things in life that are so interesting.

Walks, talking with people, enjoying nature and real life is just way more interesting than dulling the senses on a phone.

I would definitely be happier to see a bear like that in the woods than would that would chase after me, haha.

What a wonderful thing to come apon. Thank you for the great information in your blog today to share with us here on the Rain.  Make it a terrific day! bill

Good morning, Kathy... now that's the kind of bear I don't mind running into. Meantime, hopefully you are staying safe and warm. The weather reports for Texas at my end are not sounding good.

Lions and tigers and bears, Oh My.  Thanks for the chuckle.

Good morning Kathy,

One of the pleasures when you walk ..so many unexpected delights you might find as long as you keep your eyes open and senses freed up to soak up your surroundings. I see some talking on the phone when walking and they miss the very reason they are out walking.

Too funny Kathy Streib . Who ever placed the bear there had to have had a good sense of humor. My post today was about bears as well.

I love the quotes, being mindful is hard to do all the time and we miss so many things that are right in front of us. Glad you got to meet your bear.

Hello Kathy,  I was listing a house in Littleton back in 199 and there was a bear sleeping in the backyard of my client.  We call animal protection and within 10 mins, we had 3 news helicopters flying around and woke him up.  He climb down the tree and jump the fence and get going till the animal protection guy got him.

coyotes are the only ones that scare me. They will go after the dogs they see. 

Oh now that's a cute little bear!  I hope a little kid didn't lose it Kathy!  And you're so right - always be open to the unexpected.  Reminds me of our winter painting with the red path but only for 20 minutes or so a day!  Happy Wednesday!

That is such a delightful discovery to see, Kathy.  On one of the trails along the American River Parkway that I frequent is an old fallen Oak tree.  This fall, it had several pumpkins on it.  

Kathy, Oh that is almost sad, probably a young kid now is missing their bear!  

Kathy that is the only kid of bear I would want to run into in the woods ..... LOL

Wise words for sure. Life is full of so many unexpected incidents. Keeping our eyes open to them is critical.

Hi Kathy Streib - The only time I saw a bear besides in the zoo was a visit to Alaska.  It was a grizzly bear.  We do get an occasional bear in Sedona, in fact, there was one in my neighbor's backyard.  But I didn't see it!  

that is an adorable thing to come across! I love how you see your walks as daily opportunities for the unexpected
