I continued to enform him that his men probably did not make it through the battle.  They were out numbered and had no chance in hell.  All the man could do was gaze toward the ground.

blades of grass, mud holes and gravel.&lt;br /&gt;One hose winding through the doorway of the enormous home,&lt;br /&gt;Making its way like a snake,&lt;br /&gt;Around the corner and up the deeply carved stair case.&lt;br /&gt;Taking on a black color which gave the white fibers a tint.&lt;br /&gt;Down the hall heading deeper into the intense heat and noise,&lt;br /&gt;The crackling and popping overwhelming the ear,&lt;br /&gt;As the flames eat away at the structure.&lt;br /&gt;The hint of light begins to show within the darkened walls,&lt;br /&gt;It’s as if the thick black cloud had engulfed everything. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Nearing the end of the hose two hands control the nozzle,&lt;br /&gt;Water rushes out putting a tremendous force in the opposite direction.&lt;br /&gt;With the light of the fire being drowned out by the thick smoke,&lt;br /&gt;Water droplets plunge into the faint yellow and orange blaze.&lt;br /&gt;The heat is intense turning the water into steam with a rapid pace.&lt;br /&gt;With hours passing by the smoke clears slowly,&lt;br /&gt;Giving a view that has not yet been able to be seen.&lt;br /&gt;The remains of the structure,&lt;br /&gt;Where the fire did not engulf,&lt;br /&gt;Is coated with dark gray and black soot,&lt;br /&gt;The rest is a black and white ash waste from the flames.&lt;br /&gt;Although there

Every leaf crunched and crumbled beneath each footstep.  The journey was long through the woods, to where I was going to sit at the base of an old oak tree.  On the way the darkness was an intimidating surrounding, but there was not much to fear.  Making my way through the pines and across the series of beaver damns and up the steep hill, I finally made it to the spot.  With my back to the oak tree I awaited for the sun to slowly shine its light over the landscape.  As the sun continued to do so, it interfered with a motion within the brush at the base of the hill.  It was dark in color, it seemed to be black amoungst the brownish green and dark brown forage.  The light from the sun gave the creature a glittery shine, which widened the eye even more.  The excitement and adrenaline inflamed my body as it slowly meandered closer.  Looking through the scope I saw the reflecting black even better, the short brown nose and the unique white tranglular shaped patch on the chest.  It is what the best moments, for a hunter, are made of.  One simple sqeeze of the pointer finger and the creature ran and fell to the ground in a matter of seconds.  The bear I had been waiting for had finally shown its shy and weary self amoungst the brush and timber.  There is truly no experience like this one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21586608-114182880885998561?l=blackbear23.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blackbear23.blogspot.com/feeds/114182880885998561/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21586608&amp;postID=114182880885998561' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21586608/posts/default/114182880885998561'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21586608/posts/default/114182880885998561'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blackbear23.blogspot.com/2006/03/it-was-cold-morning-with-frost.html' title=''/><author><name>blackbear23</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03494184383217321917</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21586608.post-114141801997366551</id><published>2006-03-03T12:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-03T12:33:39.976-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/65/10041/320/Black%20Bear%20of%202005%20016.1.jpg'&gt;&lt;img border='0' style='border:1px solid #000000;
