Running Bear.....

            "...Loved Little White Dove."

Although this looks like a gentle trot this Black Bear was moving quite fast and you can see that only one paw is firmly on the ground.  Black Bears can sometimes become rather tame, especially when they are habituated to tourists.  But when you find one away from the tourist areas they are often nervous and will run for the woods.  This one clearly felt vulnerable on the open rocky shore and did not stop to look at us until it was on the edge of the woods.  This was near Zeballos on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The title Running Bear was from a number 1 hit in 1960 by Johnny Preston. I remember a version of it was played in the 1989 film Scandal about the Profumo Affair.
