MAMA FLORIDA BLACK BEAR & HER 3 CUBS, VERONA WALK, NAPLES, FLORIDA, 2/27/2025

   At about 6 pm, as we were turning the corner from our street, Ravello Court, onto Veronawalk Circle, we saw this mama bear with her three cubs.  I took these photos with my cell phone. as I didn't have my camera.  Later when we returned and it was pretty dark, we saw mama bear on our street in front of our house.   We had to wait awhile until we could get in our garage.
