For Murph re: Bear Interactions

[up148]

The is how nature weeds out the gene pool so a species can survive. Sadly, we interfere too much and not let Nature take its course.

Absopositutely agree with you.

Murph,
What is that just left of center on the hillside, a structure or a right-of-way clearing for electric lines or what?

Cell tower?

Cell tower?

Yes but not that.
Not on top of the hill, on the side of the hill.

If you refer to here, in the upper left landscape of this cropped view, since I was there and took the photo in May, that would be a field recently harvested and cleared; although, it might also have been readied for the next planting (?)

I just now checked the weather for Homer , NY for next week, and it lists sunny 83+ but thundershowers, also, for Tues. and/or Wed. However, reviewing these photos to share here has me wanting to make the trip all the more, yet, just staying sheltered from rain in a motel room for the duration is out-of-the-question for my motivation. I must have relaxed sunshine for roaming the hills unmolested by inclement weather threats. Of course, I could leave here on Sunday, directly after my serving at Mass on Sunday, instead of leaving on Monday.

I'll cont. to ruminate on this .

What I asked about looks more like a road going up the hill in the closer photo

Might be a portion of a plowed field that you cannot see the rest of because of the forestation in front of it?

This? Yes, that is one of the gravel-dirt-roads that allow access to the area, its fields and woods.

[rogruth]

Yes. Thank you.

In the News this morning, two (2!) Black Bears were duking-it-out in somebody's backyard, in New Jersey, which the home owners filmed, no less!!

Sad. Perhaps inevitable, but, nonetheless , possessed of sadness.

Yet, all three hunters in that photo were prepared to kill.

Two for sport and/or profit,
One for survival.
