"Two girls go berriyng discover bears and learn that their fears of bears might be unfounded in this very simple story of an encounter with beary-loving bears in the woods. Pure fantasy, yet whimsical and fun."

I was invited to a special visit with the Black bears at the Vince Shute Sanctuary in Orr, Minnesota The people at Vince Shute taught me how to calmly walk backwards and hold my hands up to show I had nothing, to back out of their corridor and let them pass.They were truly beautiful creatures. Here are some pictures of my visit.
