Driving through town yesterday I spotted a bear driving a motorcycle (and I believe he was wearing a headset microphone). Fortunately my son was driving, enabling me to frantically grab my camera bag from the back seat and get a few shots when we reached a traffic light.
Here’s the bear waving at another car:
Here’s a shot of the trailer he was pulling, that interestingly enough said “Please Stand Clear” on the side and had a stuffed Tigger peeking out the window.
This isn’t one of those everyday kind of shots (at least it isn’t for me) so I’m glad I had my camera!
Please visit my photoblog for a WW on the life cycle of the magnolia.

That’s something to see all right. I can’t imagine how hot it was inside of that bear costume. Oy.

What a sight to see! Good thing you had your camera with you. I have also learned to carry mine in the back seat. The moment I leave without it, I always miss something really cool.

Oh, wow. You don’t see that every day. I’m so glad you had your camera with you. What in the world?! I really wish I knew the story behind it.
Happy WW!

Very cool shots. Did you ever find out who he/she was? Looks like there’s a clown or something in the window of the trailer too. Fascinating. An entertaining mystery. I like the little stuffed bear with the American flag on the back of the go cart thing too. Very funny.

Hi Dawn, Thanks for visiting. I thought I’d pop back and sort of answer your question about how the duck can fly. We were surprised. He looked like he might be injured with the feather sticking out so my friend was checking him out while I was photographing him. Finally he flew back to the water but well apart from the other ducks which made me think they had picked on him. Hopefully he’ll be ok. Happy Wednesday!

Seems like it would be a little hot to be in a bear costume. Great pic, stop by my WW!

That was a weird thing to see. Hopefully it was colder outside that day too, because if I were to see that here right now-I would be worried for the bear. I think it’s way too hot for him to be up and walking around!
July 9th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
That’s hilarious! How fortunate that you were able to capture those pictures! Definitely not an every day shot…at least not for me, either.
Happy WW!

Dawn,
This is EXACTLY why you always always ALWAYS need to keep a camera with you at all times! Wouldn’t you have been so disappointed if you had missed it??
And no…this ISN’T something you see everyday!
(Did you get all your Twitter questions answered??)
