Today on the way back from Denali National Park today, a black bear stepped out into the road in front of me.  I didn't have time to think about the camera, as I didn't want to buy a rental car.  When I got stopped, my camera was on the passenger floor board.  The bear didn't dart away like I thought he would.  Reached down for the camera, and snapped three shots.  I didn't want to do that through the windshield, but I thought, I may not get another chance like this.  Of course there's bugs on the windshield.  The bear was far enough away from the center of the  road and I pulled up even and took a shot out the passenger window that was already down.  With that, it was gone.

You don't always get the shot you want, but I'd rather have a poor shot than not have my camera with me.
