BEAR WITH ME

It was going to be a good fall for our apple trees

This chipmunk was not a suspect.

One of the few limbs on this tree and now it's gone.

 

This is the tree from August surprise. The surprise branch is still on the tree.
I am checking if the flowers set fruit.

Black object under the tree is little bear.

This was the largest of the three bears.

On the way to the crab apple tree the plum tree got taken down.(left)

They stripped the lower branches and then climbed into the top.

Bear wise no longer removes nuisance bears. Which is a shame.
 Transporting bears keeps them out of our gardens
 long enough for the fruit to mature and be picked.
Local bear "catcher" didn't answer his phone.

These are wind-falls rescued the day before the attack
. From the little tree the chipmunk is sitting in.
They will make a pie.

These were picked from the tree the bear is seen under after it was chased away
We had tested them the day before for ripeness but the seeds were still white.
Good for jelly, maybe..
