While walking through Crescent Meadow in Sequoia National Park, we stumbled upon this magnificent black bear foraging through the meadow for a snack. He didn't mind our presence, and neither did the 9 other bears we saw during our 2 night stay; Amazing! Filmed in beautiful Crescent Meadow, Sequoia National Park, California, USA, with the Sony HX5V, by Sheety33, on June 21 (first day of Summer) 2011 @ 2:43pm. 

Crescent Meadow is a small, sequoia-rimmed meadow in the Giant Forest region of Sequoia National Park. This sierran montane meadow marks the western terminus of the High Sierra Trail, which stretches from the meadow across the Great Western Divide to Mount Whitney. Pioneer Hale Tharp homesteaded in this and nearby Log Meadow. Conservationist John Muir visited this meadow many times and praised it highly calling it the "Gem of the Sierras". The meadow lies at the end of a three mile paved road which leaves the Generals Highway near the Giant Forest Museum.
