Situated between Dovestone Reservoir and Greenfield, Oldham UK

Walking in the National Botanic Gardens , I stopped to say hello to the grey squirrels. I had some bird seeds and put some on a tree stump. Nobody noticed for a few minutes, then this little guy saw me and came bounding over. He ran up my leg onto my arm and was sniffing at the bag. As I put some more seeds on the stump , he moved down to the stump , and started chewing away. Hilarious Park Life :) <3

Carving Bear...My Sweet Reward

Several years ago, early on a Sunday morning, we left Moose Pass, to make our drive back to Anchorage. About 8 miles

south of Alyeska, hubby and I passed a distressed motorist. It was just at day break with light traffic on the road, so we decided to offer help. The young man was out of gas and unfamiliar with the area. We knew there was a station at Alyeska Ski Resort where he could purchase gas and most likely get a ride back to

his auto. It did take time from our trip, but we always prepare for interruptions. After we left the motorist, I settled back into my seat with camera in hand. At mile marker 100 we saw a grizzly in the highway. As we approached, he darted back into the woods. Slow we edged our way… while checking the woods for our furry friend. First we had a peek and them a full view of this curious bear. He made his way into a wood carver’s lot. We were only able to pull part way as he entertained us about 30 minutes. He chewed on electrical cords, played in the saw dust, tried to get into the port-a-let, and inspected the wooden statues. Has we not stopped to give aid to the young man, we would have missed the “Carving Bear”…my sweet reward!

Taken at the wonderful Nipika Lodge

Going through that chewing phase. I repaired his bed, which is still holding him for now! The original bed lasted about a week before he chewed it to shreds! Lucky he is cute and lovable!
