Bear in the backyard!

This is a shot of a wild black bear walking through the backyard of my brother and sister-in-laws house taken by a neighbor a couple of weeks ago. They live just outside of Denver on Lookout Mt. and often have wild animals wondering through their yard. Usually it is deer or elk that come roaming through, but rarely do they see a bear. This big guy came right up to their house and passed the play set and hammock that their younger daughter was just playing on earlier in the day. That is crazy and scary! This is a not a problem for where we live, even though we do have to worry about stray things that are the same color wondering into our yard.
