Winter Slumber

In the Blue Ridge of central Virginia bears take a winter slumber. Waking on the rare occasion to thrill those who pay attention to such things. This sleepless creature roamed the woods in January, 2015. Years later, another sleepless one. January 2020 noted by one who pays attention to such things. Rare occasion indeed.

  1. It’s fun to pay attention to such things! Do you think the activity is due to milder temperatures?

    1. Hi Anita!

      That is certainly a good question, but when the one showed up in January of 2020 there was a good bit of snow on the ground and it had just happened. So not mild at all.

      Thanks for reading my blog!
