I called ahead:) by sinsinawa on flickr.com

While driving into Cades Cove my mother-in-law said that she's never seen a bear in the wild. I told her that I'd get right on that, and laughed at her. Wouldn't you know this guy was by the side of the road as we rounded a corner a while later. So much for being a smart a*s.:)

This bear didn't seem to care at all that people were taking pictures; I was less than ten feet away. This was taken in Cades Cove, part of the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee.
