Favorite Photo Friday

So here's another one [okay...three] from my dad's slides -My sister feeding WILD bears on the roadside in Gatlinburg, TN [circa 1958 or so]
Significant because - Oh My Goodness! What were they thinking? If you knew my parents [two of the most over-cautious people ever!]
you'd be thinking the same thing.
But it's kind of fun to see they had an adventurous side...- take a look at the other people standing FAR - FAR away thinking who knows what about these young parents and their pre-school daughter.
[In their defense - I've always been told these were cubs, not grown bears...
but still... there was a mama bear somewhere -]
EDITED: My mom informs me that THIS IS the mama bear - they were feeding her crackers while the cubs played back behind her --- oh my.

We like Top of the River, too! Not so keen on jalapeno cornbread, though. You are right about the long-haired cat being a lot of work, we have one, too. She comes up on the couch every night and asks to be brushed (puts a paw on your arm). Funny to watch. What would we do without them!
