The Bear in My Backyard

Yesterday evening I was making dinner and glanced out the back window. To my surprise, I saw a bear just past the big rock at the back of our property! I sat and stared for a minute... it didn't move. I kept watching, no movement. It wasn't a bear. The shadows and tree trunks combined with just the right lighting made it really look like a bear. For the next 20 minutes I kept looking out, knowing there wasn't a bear but just wanting to make sure. Then, because I'm paranoid and have an over-active imagination I dreamed about a bear last night.
