Your Favorite Backstory

In an earlier post I mentioned how much fun it was doing my first craft/art show. And although I didn't get rich, I gained so much enjoyment talking about my photos. I was actually surprised by how many visitors actually enjoyed hearing the stories behind specific images. I'm sure we would all love hearing yours too. So, post one of your photos and tell us the backstory! I'll start it off with my photo (above) that got the most attention at the show. I was hiking in Yosemite National Park with my daughter (Katie) and her little dog (T. Rex). The two of us didn't even notice the black bear until her chihuahua ran up to it and started smelling its leg. The bear looked down at the dog, realized it was too small to be a threat, and went right back to eating Manzanita berries. Katie yanked T. Rex away and hid behind a tree, all while yelling at me to put my camera away and get back there with her. Eventually, the bear walked away and down to the lake behind us for a swim. When we got back to the trailhead a ranger told us that the bear and its mom had been hanging out in the area. And that we were all lucky that the mom, which was likely hiding in the brush nearby and watching us, didn't come bounding out of the brush to protect its young.
