Meeting bears up close

[image error]Anyone who has read here for any length of time knows that I have bear worries when I hike.  I even have dreams about them sometimes, but I'm not willing to give up hiking. 

Today, to celebrate my birthday, Christopher Robin arranged a surprise: he took me to the zoo for a "Grizzly Bear Encounter."   We went behind the scenes, into the back rooms, and even into the enclosure to learn more about grizzlies. 

The best part was feeding a grizzly bear through a grate, looking at his giant head and incr

stems

Met a friend for tea the other day and this vase was on the table.  Kept playing with the way it looked.  Just for fun.
