Running Away with the Circus!

Juggling?
​

Picture
 


I want to be in the circus.  So Beth let me borrow her juggling balls.

​Impossible!
​

Picture
I couldn't even lift one of those heavy balls.  So I thought about juggling scarves... which are lighter.  Then I tried to just balance on top of a ball.  But they are too slippery.

"Send in the Clowns!"
​

Picture
That's what Beth said.  I think that's what they say when there is some kind of horrific accident and they need the clowns to distract the audience.
Picture
What is she trying to tell me?  That I am a circus disaster?  She said she only meant I might be better at clowning.  But those big clowns are creepy.  These little guys were pretty nice. I might run away with the circus.

Another Turtle Story

​Kind of Yucky and Kind of Lucky
​
Picture
In this photo, I look like I'm sitting on a muddy hill.
Picture
But I was really riding on a slimy, algae covered turtle shell!
Picture
Lately I've been riding turtles a lot.  A few weeks ago I took a ride on a shell that was dry and quite lovely.  But, this turtle had been swimming in Beth's pool and was headed towards the lake.  I was able to hold on better this time, because the shell was so sticky.

Splash!
​

 


Picture
But when we got close to the lake, the turtle moved faster than turtles usually do.

​Whew.
​

Picture
That worked well for me, since I was thrown back into the grass.  Maybe I should learn how to swim, if I'm going to keep riding turtles.

After the Lavender

A Proper Pose
​

Picture
I brought one piece of lavender back with me.   Since we were staying in a treehouse at the lavender farm, there wasn't much to do.  So I told Beth she could set me up for some photo ops.

Up in the Treehouse!
​

Picture
It was a little scary, teetering up there in my wicker chair on that wobbly railing.
Picture
 I told Beth to pose me on a more secure leaf instead. That was sort of fun for a while, when the wind blew.

All Alone
​

Picture
I kept looking around to see if an ant or a beetle or some friendly critter, might join me on that leaf. It was sort of boring by myself. I started thinking about that fluffy fairy bear that posed with me in the lavender field.  

Just Wondering?
​

 



Picture
I know I got annoyed with her. But maybe it would be okay if Beth wanted to bring her along on another trip.  I wonder what she's up to?

Lavender!

Calming Fragrance
​

Picture
Beth took me to a lavender farm. Generally, I become annoyed when she poses me in her little nature shots.  But there was something so lovely and calming about the smell.  I suddenly didn't mind posing. In fact I think I nailed a wistful pose!  I could see myself on the cover of Garden Lovers Calendar... or a Happy Spring greeting card!

​Who is That?
​

Picture
Then Beth pulls this other bear from her bag.  She's fluffy white, with purple paws and delicate wings.  She has never been run over by a car, like me.
Picture
Beth posed that Bear Fairy on the lavender with me.  "Look at how her purple matches!" Beth exclaimed.  I wanted to remind Beth, that I am brown. I am the color of nature!  And I don't need anyone stealing my spotlight!

I pouted until we got home. It was crowded sharing the camera bag pocket with that fairy. But when we got home, Beth tossed that little fairy into a dollhouse that gets ignored most of the time.  I'm the only one who lives in the camera bag, now!

    Little Bear
    ​

    My mom gave me this tiny bear many decades ago... because  I like small things. 

    Some years back, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
