Teddy Bear's Picnic?

We're enjoying our first summer as residents of Lac Le Jeune and all that it has to offer.  Each day it's a treat to observe what is happening with the wildlife around the lake.  Usually it's the ducks and geese with their young or a beaver hauling a new branch through the water to his lodge at the end of the lake.  This morning, though, we awoke to the sight of a young black bear in our backyard enjoying some berries.  He was up at the back of the lot and had probably entered from the dirt road that runs behind the houses along the "little lake" area of Lac Le Jeune.  We grabbed our binoculars for a closer look, but weren't thinking fast enough to snap a photo.  This wasn't the first time we've seen a bear in our area, but this was right in our own backyard!  He ambled away after a short time, but seeing him reminded us of how we all share Lac Le Jeune with the wildlife here.
