So you think you can outrun a bear? Please don't ever try it! Today while I walked on the Cañada Bonita Trail, I suddenly heard noises ahead of me and looked up just in time to see what I'm sure was a bear running across the trail. I write "what I'm sure" because it was going so fast that it was more a blur than a bear but it was lower than a deer and bigger in the butt and didn't bound like a deer. It tore across the trail and crashed through the forest, hastily going downhill to the lower trail. I missed a real opportunity because I didn't think to check for its tracks until on the way back; then, I didn't really know the exact spot to look and, besides, there were shadows across the trail. I'm sure, though, that it was a bear and I'm definitely happy that its only interest in me was getting out of Dodge as fast as possible!
The breezes in Cañada Bonita meadow were refreshing. Wild irises are blooming in the meadow. Lots of huge, yellow and black swallowtail butterflies were enjoying the irises.
