It is thrilling to experience nature up close and personal, but that is a bit too "up close" for me!! Those pics are great your husband must be the calm type.

Yikes I would not want to run into one of those guys. I'm afraid to do the Grouse Grind because of the bears. There seems to be so many over the last few years!
