Taken on 01 October 2014 in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee.
We were driving on Cades Cove Loop, on our way to Abrams
Falls when the car in front of us suddenly stopped. Pete scanned the area as he was sure that
there was a wildlife sighting. The
passenger rolled down her window and started snapping away but I still couldn’t
see anything. After a few seconds, a
black bear was crossing the road. I
desperately tried to take a good photo but, unfortunately, I wasn’t in the most
desirable position. The bear headed to
the woods and I continued eyeing it, still hoping to snap a picture. It disappeared and when I looked in front of
the car there were two playful cubs on the road and they quickly scurried after
their mom. I was enthralled and tranced
(no exaggeration here). Everything
happened too fast that I had no chance of immortalizing the experience. When I recovered, I kept on kicking myself (I
still do). Anyway, it’s alright. I could relive my first bear sighting and the
heartwarming image in my mind whenever I want to (yeah, yeah … photographs
would’ve been way cooler!).
