Journal Entry for Thursday October 2, 2014 Made another late start for the beaver meadow at the end of Indian Lake Road.As we were crossing The Plains we spotted a black bear walking along the road, heading in the same direction as we were traveling. The bear crossed the road, turned around and headed back in our direction. Suddenly the bear's eyesight must have come into focus because it stopped momentarily, then dove into the roadside brush and disappeared. When we first spotted the bear I was hoping to get a photograph, but the bear was too far away and I wasn't set up for the 600f4 lens.
Finally reached the beaver meadow near the terminus of Indian Lake Road. Decided not to shoot another panorama Today. The light was harsh and the autumn colors were fading. An ancient stump covered with lichen made a good subject. A young bush limb was somewhat distracting and I decided to do some gardening but decided to leave it like I found it.
As we packed up and headed back towards the truck, we nearly stepped on a wood frog. Stopped to shoot a couple of images of the frog, then headed for home.
