The subject here is the fly, not the bear!

This was taken on an STL Workshop two years ago in MN.

We waited and waited for this fly to come close enough to the bear to get them both in the frame!! :lol:

Well worth the patience and wait for the right moment. Amazing timing and capture. :!: :!: :!:

The expression of the bear in combination of the fly ....well what can one say. It must have been some fun trying not to laugh during the "bear-bug battle" :)

It looks like that bear has had all he can take of that fly. Great timing.

Very funny! It's amazing how such a big brute could be annoyed by such a little bug.

Cool shot; great timing. Only question is whether the bear got him! ;)
