Reaching for the crabapples.

I was looking out my kitchen window and that's when I saw the young bear. He looked as if he was standing on his tiptoes to reach the crabapples. I grabbed my camera and took as many pictures as I could through the window. I loved the soft colors on that summer day and the cutest bear ever! I was so happy to catch the light in the bear's eye and the slight white spot on on its chest.
