One lucky Golden Gate Estates woman has been able to experience nature at its finest in her own backyard since 2009.
Every so often, black bears pay a visit to Naples Daily News' Senior Human Resources Business Partner Deborah Trinka's backyard. They never cause any harm, and they don't stay for long, she said.
Mother bears and their cubs have spent time roaming around the yard. In 2012, a bear appeared with four of her cubs who played and climbed a tree.

When they do show up, Trinka always has her camera in hand and films them from safely inside her lanai.
"Every time I see them, I am in awe," Trinka said.
