My sister lives near Winchester, VA, and we drove through a bit of that skyline drive a few years ago when I was visiting - we weren't lucky enough to see bears though. :) And the eating out and entertaining sound lovely, too.<br /><br />Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-91284920275665328452016-10-24T19:08:10.243-04:002016-10-24T19:08:10.243-04:00I know that bear, bear, 🐻 feeling and when the pi...I know that bear, bear, 🐻 feeling and when the picture is only in your brain!!

Your creativity in memorializing your 'non-photo-opportunity' is great and I wish had the talent to do that as I have a lot of those kind of moments (not often with bears of course, but so many other nature shots I just missed because....) Loved feeling as if I were along with you on this beautifiul and exciting drive (and meal/entertainment).Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5647334797160181392.post-57544781042785620472016-10-23T14:09:40.329-04:002016-10-23T14:09:40.329-04:00The scenery is just lovely as is the pizza!

I laughed at the BEAR BEAR, I once shouted our SNAKE SNAKE, by which time the startled snake had slithered away, before I got a chance of photographing it!!:) So glad you got to see a wild bear, and Greg was able to stop the car.

I can imagine the feeling - I feel like that with close up whales, kangaroos, koalas and I guess any life in its wild state. Also loved that back lit cloud and the pizza has made me hungry.
