I remember the first time we photographed Max. It was our firat visit to Triple D in 2004 and he was the largest Black Bear my wife and I had ever seen. Being a retired Band Director, I especially liked the pose he did where he looked like he was playing the Flute - I almost laughted out loud! Wondeful memories and great photos! - We have been to Triple D three times and hope to go back for more!
