Cliffside Bear Sighting!!

Woke up at 6:45 this morning with the dogs barking. My typical thought of "Crud. The dogs are going to wake the kids up. " Patrick said "there is probably a deer in the yard." He took off to go shower and when I looked out the window, I saw Mr. (or Mrs.) Bear trotting by! In the 13 years I've lived here, this is the first bear sighting.

The poor bear was "stuck" on the cliff between the fence and the water. It probably took some serious navigating to find his way out amongst the houses, cliff and beach.  Eventually he climbed down the cliff in front of the house.
