Bear in the backyard (my backyard is an alley!)

Trash has been an ongoing problem in downtown Milton. I'm not sure if it is an economic issue or if it is just a matter of people being lazy, but trash has piled up in the streets. The pile below sat on the opposite side of the road from the MOOSE for one week.



Other people have stacked the trash in the alleys behind the apartments. And now, look who has stopped for dinner!



The poor bear made the mistake of coming into downtown Milton for a meal. He managed to get himself cornered by a bunch a the downtown bar patrons and resorted to climbing the telephone pole. I snapped a quick shot and got the heck outta the way. I didn't want this guy to become smokey. Milton PD came by and chased away all the ogglers. Not long after, the bear climbed down, grabbed a snack, and hightailed it out of downtown.
