Black Bear
Jenny & Adam
JOSHUA TREE, California // We named our vehicle: Black Bear. Part of this came from the fact we are in a large black SUV and part because Brown Bear was Adam’s favorite book growing up and it seemed appropriate for our 2,400 mile drive across the country, “Black Bear, Black Bear, what do you see?” since all we could do from the car was see what we could see.
