Black bear on gravel path in forest


Long story short, i had been out hiking looking for bears on foot for hours already so i was sitting down in the forest resting and this bear came up and smelled me, i got very startled as i only saw it when it was 2meters from me. As i got startled he got startled and he ran away 10 meters and looked back at me and i snapped this picture, then he ran into the forest.
