Bear in the Woods?

I got out for a walk today!! It was a bit drizzly at times, so I decided to wear my nice red jacket with the hoodie. It's so nice to have clothing options!

Mama even let me pick the trail we were going to hike. I picked one that didn't look too long... but longer than just a stroll through the forest.

Here we go!! It's a good thing I'm a little bear with a nose for trails because this one was a bit hard to follow sometimes. I would scamper ahead and reconnoiter the trail... which gave me a great chance to... 

...hide on everybody!! Heh-heh!!! Isn't that a great hiding spot?? It's a big old cedar tree with a hole that was perfect for me!

"Boo!" I scared Mama pretty good that time... although my red jacket is much more visible than my green one... hmmm... have to think about that... red isn't a great colour for playing hide-and-seek!

Hey - wait a minute.... what is that? Do you see it - just to the left of that big old stump??

That dark thing looks like... a bear!! Or a Sasquatch!!! Ahh!!!

"Should we run, Mama???" I'm just a little bear who hasn't encountered bears in the woods before... other than myself. But Mama has seen bears before and she said don't run! So I stayed perfectly still... wishing I had my green coat on so I could blend into the greenery!

But it turns out it wasn't a bear anyhow... it was just a big root wad from a tipped over tree! Whew... I was a bit worried there... Good thing I listened to Mama and didn't run screaming through the forest scaring all the little birds!
