Thanks!

We were so lucky as they just walked out into our road right in front of the car! I took the pictures through the windscreen.

That's fantastic. Some days ago I saw a show from the National Geographic Channel, showing photos made by professional photographers: the guy was in BC, Canada finding the Ghost Bear, so called because its rare white color among all black bears. It was great!
