In her comment to yesterday’s post, Sandra/Mad Snapper said:
I think this is photoshopped or AI generated. I could cut him out and put him anywhere. it is to planned and the edges of the bear are blurred.
I’m afraid Sandra is right. Around here people do find bears on their decks, but the bears are looking for food, not taking time to enjoy the view.
Sigh. It was such a great idea and picture. I enjoyed believing it. 🙁

interesting
for me, a bear would probably never even roam the streets in New Zealand and so I’m always fascinated at any of the animals we don’t “do here” 🙂
New Zealand has been spared a lot of wild animals. 🙂
Quite possible that it is photoshopped but it’s still a fun picture.
I agree. I’m glad the person did it. 🙂
I believe the bear is real; it is the deck which has been photoshopped and added afterwards!
God bless.
😀
I figured not real, but like you thought it fun.
Yes. 🙂
it was fun, I should have kept my mouth shut. my mouth filter has left the brain
Not at all!
…I liked it when what you saw and heard was the real deal.
I’m afraid those days are long gone. It’s only going to get worse, in areas where it counts.
Photoshopped photos can be a great source of amusement. And if something can make us smile, like this photo, so much the better.
This one was fun, and I have to admit, I was taken in by it.
I think she is right, this is something she really knows about. Plus I watched a thing about how you can tell, as in blurry edges and things do not line up right. It is still cute though.
Yes, I trust Sandra on this one.
Well, I enjoyed it as well. Like visiting Universal Studios and peeking behind the facades. That didn’t diminish my pleasure.
Same here. 🙂
Oh well, it was still a lot of fun to see.
Yes. 🙂
I work in photoshop a lot and I’m not sure. If it is, it’s a good one because you can see the rear leg reflection in the shine from the rain.
That’s a good point.
Yes, I’m afraid it’s too casual for a bear.
It’s still a fun picture.
