What a fantastic contribution to Bears and Bears and Bears, Oh My!, Leah. Thank you. We're delighted to have "Bear Sightings" as part of the collection.

That bear photo is soooo good. And how great that you took it the same day Paul posted his bear story.

Bears are delightful. Until they are not. Thank you for sharing my story!

Wonderful! I loved this whole story -- the form, your description of the bear encounters (the trio nodding, heading off to fish gave me such a wonderful image), learning about the story of bears as people who decided to live in the forest, the motherwort connection!

Thank you, Leah.

I'm one of the Caravan Writers Collective folx with Paul, and what an absolute delight to see this contribution for our bear stories collection and to "meet" you.

PS. The photos are terrific too, the bear and those dogs are just gorgeous. Big squirrel!! 😆♥️♥️♥️

When I was in San Francisco at New College of California I remember a person who was using daily horoscopes as writing prompts. I started seeking inspiration of that kind and came across the Caravan writers. Thank you for providing that inspiration.
