Of all the trails and back roads I’ve been on in Colorado I never would have guessed that my first and second bear sightings would be 50 yards from my house.  When we moved in two years ago we were told that a bear lived in the neighborhood but not until a few days ago did I learn it was indeed a fact.  We were on our way home from dinner a few nights ago when something ran across the street, I turned on my brights and sure enough, it was the neighborhood bear.  Then this morning Kaia spotted something out the window, I looked out the window and just past our fence there goes the bear.  It was pretty darn cool to see a bear just walking through people’s yards but I’m happy the sightings have been from inside my house and car.  Hopefully bear sighthing number three will involve a camera.  I really want a picture of it!
