Up close and personal with a baby black bear!

Second and final day in Yosemite NP today and as we were heading back to the car after taking a few snaps of a pretty impressive glacier mountain range we happened, by chance, to spot a baby black bear literally about 15 metres away from us in the forest. We watched in silence whilst he foraged for grub, had a little drink, sat down and then continued to wander through the trees. There was only one question in mind (other than how do we coax him into the car to take him home)... where's his mummy? As we've had it drummed into our heads that if you ever happen to see a baby bear the best thing to do is get as far away from it as possible because mother bears are very protective, I think we were both feeling pretty nervous being stood so close to the friendly little fella.

Hey ho we survived and the coast-road drive down Highway 1 starts tomorrow where we'll be heading back towards LA.
