Info from Licensor: "I was on vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN, we had a cabin rental up in the Smokey Mountains. I had some homework due for my current RN classes. I was sitting on the front porch for some quiet space, I couldn't hear anything because the a/c unit was running on the side of the house. I noticed something move out of the corner of my eye and looked up to see a black bear just standing there, not too far away from me. At first, we looked at each other, it definitely startled me, I jumped up to go inside but then it didn't care that I was there. So, I decided to get my camera out and record it while standing on the porch (right beside the door) and watched it dig for grubs and food."
