So I was walking along one of the more shaded trails when I rounded a bush on the path and came across this black bear relaxing in a pool of water that had formed in a indentation just off the path. Bears don't have sweat glands so they will seek water to sit in to cool off. Given the high temperatures of late and the lack of rain, the bear was making the most out of the appearance of this little pool. So as I prepared to take my shot, my zoom lens really brought the bears face into focus and let me tell you , you didn't have to be a rocket scientist to know that this bear was not pleased that I had disturbed him. So as clicked the shot , I made the decision to leave the area right after. I apologized to the bear and told him I was leaving and went on my way.

I think it would have been better in my backyard because I would at least have had the safety of my sliding glass doorl lol vs being on the trail. I hoofed it out of there as quickly as I could without upsetting the bear any more.
