It's Halloween!
​

Picture
I don't have a costume...
Picture
But I'm surrounding myself in wonderful colors!
Picture
And don't ask me why that pool water is green.

Hiking in Yellowstone

Bear Country
​

Picture
 

We went on an early morning hike in Yellowstone National Park. I think Beth thought this was funny.

Posing
​

 


Picture
This is not a fancy water bottle or even a can of bug spray. Beth posed me on a big can of "Counter Assault".  If you look below, you can read the important words.

"Grizzly Tough Pepper Spray"

​Sunrise
​

Picture
She gave the spray to Don to carry and she carried a funny instrument that jingle-jangled if you wanted to scare off a bear. There's no way a grizzly would be out near the lake, but Beth said you can never be too careful.

A Little Insulted
​

Picture
 


I told Beth she was being rude to have Bear Spray anywhere near me.

She reminded me, 
"Little Bear, you're not a Grizzly!"

​I just answered, "Grrrrr."

Old Car in Utah

Hangin' Out
​

 

Picture
I like old cars. You can always find a good spot to just sit and hang out. I chose a curvy piece of metal in the early morning sun.

Dodge
​

Picture
I sat by the name of this car, so I wouldn't forget.  D-O-D-G-E spells DODGE!

One Light
​

Picture
 


Cars have faces and this one has a friendly one, with big round eye lights. It always looks like it's awake, kind of like me. I sat right between the word DODGE and one eye light.
Picture
That's pretty much all I have to say about my car adventure.

Stuck in the Sand

10/22/2015

 

Arches National Park in Utah
​

Picture
Beth said we were going to Arches National Park, but when she pulled me out of the bag, all I saw was sand.

I Want Arches!
​
Picture
I expected to see be rock arches.  Or at least something that looked like giant sandcastles.

Sandy Slope
​

Picture
 


You can barely see me.  I look like I'm being covered by a sweeping sand dune. I'm not even sure this was safe. A big wind gust could have buried me in an instant!

​Beth says I worry too much.

In the Shadow
​

 


Picture
I couldn't even see the sunshine.  I was in the shadow of a big rock. Beth said the sun was hot and I was lucky. I think she just pulls me out when she gets bored and has nothing else to do.

This has been a very long road trip.

An Apple Orchard

10/22/2015

 

Apple Picking?
​

 


Picture
This was a strange stop on our road trip. We stopped to have a picnic in Capital Reef National  Park in Utah.  

Beth saw apple trees.

​Rocks and Trees
​

Picture
 



Long before this was a park, people lived here and planted fruit trees. Those apple trees looked pretty tiny, growing up beside that big pink rock.

Old Orchard

 


Picture
As we got closer I could see the red apples hiding in the green branches. There was a sign saying we could pick the fruits.  It's free if you eat in the park.  You leave some money in a box, if you take some with you.

Just Sitting
​

Picture
 




I didn't eat any. I just sat on the top of an apple and looked around. I pointed out the good ones to Beth. There was just the right amount of sunshine... and the apple smelled good.  ​

Grand Canyon's South Rim

Scenic Locator
Picture
Beth thought she'd play it safe and place me far away from the canyon's edge for a photo.  But this is really kind of silly. I'm on a metal thing that points out the different canyon shapes.
Picture
I guess the scenery was pretty cool.  And I appreciate that there was a metal rim between me and the edge of the rock. 
Picture
But Beth has a really bad track record.  She's never cautious enough.  I'm pretty sure I could have fallen down that hole!

Honoring the Presidents

Where am I?
​

Picture
In the Black Hills of South Dakota!  It's my first time in this state!

What Am I On?
​

Picture
 
 


This looks like some old camera... or an odd shooting weapon... or a film projector or something. 

It doesn't matter. It wasn't working for me anyway.  I tried to lean over and look into the eye piece, but I almost fell.  

Sitting and Looking
Picture
But I was looking the wrong way.  And actually the viewing thing was aimed the wrong way, too.
Picture
Beth turned it so it faced the carved rocks.  But I was just looking at Beth.

That's Better!
​

Picture
So she grabbed me off of that thing and walked me a little closer. That was nice, but it just made me want to get really close.  Cary Grant got to climb all over those faces in "North by Northwest".   I would really like to walk right to the tip of Mr. Lincoln's nose and tell him how much I respect him.  Maybe next time!

Sunflowers in Wyoming

My Favorite Flower!
​

Picture
I've posed with a lot of flowers, but this is the best!  ​
Picture
I never expected to see sunflowers in Wyoming in September!  All the flowers were turning their faces towards the warm sun.  I joined right in.  In fact, I think I almost became one of those yellow petals!  I love sunflowers!

Zion National Park in Utah

10/2/2015

 

Red Rocks  
​

Picture
I've been to Utah before, but I don't remember these red rocks.  Everything was kind of slanty.

Stacks of Rock
​

Picture
It looked like someone did a sloppy job, laying a sugary cake. Everything was slipping.

I Complained
​

Picture
I was scared I'd tumble down.  So Beth moved me to a smooth spot where she could take a picture of me.

What's Behind Me?
​

Picture
Beth said it was a lovely scene with me on the rock and all the leaning rocks behind me.  
​
That's Funny
​

Picture
I turned around to see the view and laughed.  I stopped thinking of layered cakes. It looked more like a giant cow pie slipping down the mountain.  

National Parks can be funny.

    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.
