While visiting my friend Jackie in the U.P we visited https://www.oswaldsbearranch.com/index.php?page=Home, they have over 200 acres, and have given about 40 black bears a safe home, that were rescued.Black bears are hunted in the U.P. so I'm guessing alot of them were rescued as cubs, but other injuries I suppose as well. The males, females and cubs all have their own areas, so a total of 3 large areas. There are viewing platforms but because I'm so short and the fencig so high it was difficult to get decent shots of them but i managed some.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

An excellent shot I'd say Sandi - I hear you on the short part!

Well despite your being elevation-challenged, Sandi, I think you did a fine job of it. From that snowy face, it appears this bear found a home here some years ago. We traveled the U.P. twenty years ago (love the fudge), and found it quite beautiful, and now that we are both retired I would like to revisit there. I will be sure to put this place on my list.

Its a super capture Sandi. It is difficult for me to imagine a land where bears live in the wild and are hunted. I had to google U.P. :)It is wonderful that these animals are rescued an cared for

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Nice capture, Sandi! Your challenge to get the shot adds to my imagination of the adventure you had.
