Nighttime Visits

I thought you might enjoy these pictures taken on my wildlife camera late last night. Please realize that this camera is attached to a tree in our yard, and it is triggered by motion to take the pictures. No, I am NOT outside watching this bear from behind a tree. I was safe inside the house, sound asleep in my bed.

This young bear came trotting through the yard around 11:00 p.m.  He seems a bit wary of his surroundings...like he's on the alert...

Apparently he hears something in the background...see how his ears are perked up as he turns his head?

There definitely must be something over that way...he is watching very intently...

Maybe it went that way...

No...maybe it's back there again...

Something is definitely back there...

 He must have stood still for six minutes before he decided it was safe to get a drink... (note the times)

 He was very thirsty...

 Uh Oh...There IS something back there...if you look very carefully in the dark shadows behind the bear's rump, you will see the dark outline of another bear walking across the yard...

 Can you see him back there?  Looks like he has stopped in his tracks to watch this bear...and this bear isn't hanging around...

 Looks like they are both leaving...perhaps they will rendezvous somewhere back in the back yard...

So much excitement going on in my front yard while I am sleeping!! So thankful their little stand off was quiet and peaceful, and I am safely tucked inside my bed...

"I will both lie down in peace,

and sleep;

For You alone, O Lord, 

make me dwell in safety."

Psalm 4:8

And in case you still aren't too sure about that and can't quite quiet down and sleep, rest assured:

"The Lord your God in your midst,

The Mighty One, 

WILL SAVE;

He will rejoice over you with gladness,

He will QUIET you with His LOVE,

He will REJOICE over you with 

singing."

Zephaniah 3:17

Sweet Dreams.

God is watching over you.

I think I can hear Him singing...

"Lullaby,

and Good Night."
