The Black Bears at Grandfather Mountain, NC

My husband is from North Carolina so we try to get down there at least once a year.  Last year we went down for Easter.  We went all over visiting family and enjoying the sites.  One of our favorite places to go is Grandfather Mountain.  I have a lot of photos from the view, hiking, and the animals.  The early spring day was perfect for the bears.  We were there for one of their snack feeding times and were able to enjoy them with a large group of people.  It was truly a wonderful day and I was able to get some great photos of the bears being active.

Here's Kodiak Grandfather's male, cinnamon colored black bear, waiting for his snack of fish and veggies.

One of the black bears decided it was so nice out that she'd enjoy a swim in the pond and show off for us.  What a treat that was to watch and be able to capture on camera.

I will share with you other photos I took from that day as well in latter post so keep an eye open for the beautiful views of Grandfather Mountain by LittleDeerPhotography
