One day, not long ago, Jane of Becontree Heath heard a loud
noise out in her yard. She noticed her eight-foot-high bird
feeder being knocked back and forth by a large black furry
beast, henceforth known as "Bear." The feeder was
subsequently turned over and this really annoyed Jane big
time to the point where she had to voice her displeasure.
So she grabbed her camera and went out on the deck to yell
at the bear. The following dialogue ensued ...
As the bear walked down the stream bank to fetch and pillage the various feeders that ended up there, Jane yelled out "Yo bear, what the furball do you think you're doing?"

The bear stopped going down the bank, turned his head toward Jane and said "You talkin' to me?"
* * * * * * * *
Jane yelled again and said "Yeah you. Get out of there before I kick your butt." The bear immediately turned around and started coming back up the bank and said to Jane "Do I look scared? What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?"

As you can see by the picture, when the bear started to get too close, Jane's hands inadvertently started to shake and she hollered out "OH S H I T T T T T" as she ran into the house. The bear then snorted out, turned around and went back to pillaging the bird feeders. When he finished, he then continued his journey down the stream. Jane of Becontree Heath, back in her safe habitat, decided it would be better to stay in for the rest of the day with her doggie just in case she'd annoyed the bear enough that he might be waiting for her out in the bushes.

But that's another story ... Stay tuned.
