Bear Attack and the rest of the week

Yes, there was a bear attack, and it was on my camera case. Here are photos of the bear checking out my camera case while I was photographing from a different vantage point. I learned a valuable lesson... latch the case when you leave it alone... luckily, nothing was damaged. Pelican case rules!

Top two photos, the brute is 'bear handling' my case while I yell at him. Third photo he's looking at me as if "what?!?". The last photo are the teeth marks. Gives my pelican some history.

The rest of my week. Busy as usual. I've guided two Peak Adventures, making three summits this week. I've also been photographing wildflowers and wildlife when the weather co-operates. I think I'll order my new lens this week.... the Canon 100-400mm f4-5.6 IS USM... expensive but worth it. I find my Tamron (75-300mm) doesn't give the clarity I need and the auto focus is slow, noisy and often inaccurate.
