The little bears video was terrific. The photos were excellent. My favorite was the 1st one.

Nathaniel, I just wanted to take the time to tell you that I spent the afternoon today watching all of your videos. I stumbled on one last night, I watched a few minutes and decided to hold off because i knew I would want to binge them all. I have to say, all of your videos are excellent, your images are beautiful and you have a knack for talking in front of the camera. Maine is my #1 destination spot on my bucket list, I am looking to head there sometime next year. You made it look even more appealing. Please keep making your videos, as I want to keep watching.

Thank you so much! Maine is a pretty awesome place, I'm lucky to live here

We courted up there. More the 60 years ago. The density of the Smokys is intense. She lived there and we saw each other more than 60 years ago. It was a fairy tale. Not love at first sight but more. We knew what would come at the first glance. 60 years married. There was certainty from the first kiss on Water Rock Knob where she claimed me. Her terrain not mine. Still we both knew nothing mattered but us and those deep and dark mountains. We did 60 years married. Then I had to lay her to her rest, up high in the Smokys, Good grief,she was incredible. The mountains are a constant reminder of the girl who passed and what I have lost.

When you video taped the baby bears did you wondered where is the mama bear? 🐻🤣 Nicely done. Thanks 👍😊

[@NathanielChild]

Haha nope, I knew exactly where she was the whole time. I made sure to keep one eye on her so there weren't any unpleasant surprises 🤣
