LOL! I remember in Canada, the wife and I were at the far end of Lake
Agnes, in sight of the Tearoom, when we spotted an approaching animal,
which looked like a Black Bear, heading straight down the slope towards us.
My first thought? I'm struggling with the camera and bag to get to the
longest lens I have, while Fiona is nervously backing towards the water,
wondering if she can swim faster than a bear!!
(She knows she can't swim faster than me...)
Actually, it was a wolverine. More interested in Pikas than in us. But I
know what you mean!!
