Bear tree...

This morning I took a class on tracking. It involved a lovely walk and a very knowledgeable guide and fantastic weather! Lots of tracks to be seen, this is up in a remote area surrounded by the Okanogan National Forest.

This photo is a mark left when a bear climbed this tree.
Apparently bears also like to scratch on trees rather like the way that cats scratch at a post. They particularly like to do so on large Ponderosa Pine trees. I have some of those. I will investigate! Watch this space!

Other things going on today included tanning a buffalo hide and no end of basket weaving, felting, clay stuff for kids and hammered wire jewelry making.
