Little Bear's Adventure's

Famous Handprint  It was a bit of a zoo. Big shoes kept clomping on the pavement around me, as I sat smack dap in the middle of a handprint. But I wouldn't budge. It took me a long time to find this spot. The Search It took me forever, searching the area in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. I was looking for the spot where two hands and two bare feet made prints in 1935. Finally!
Most of the famous actors left shoe footprints, but Shirley Temple used her feet. I like that. She is my favorite. She was kind of small... like me.

Mission San Juan Capistrano It was very peaceful at the lily pond. Swallows?
I heard about the swallows that come here in March. It's May now, but I was still hopeful. I floated blissfully on my lily pad, gazing about. It would have made my day to have seen a swallow near the historic mission! Instead of a sweet bird sound, I felt a bump from beneath my lily pad! Then I saw something orange approaching from my left!
 Next thing I knew, there were about five fish underneath me and my little pad was rocking like the boat in Jaws! Funny?  Beth actually laughed like she thought it was funny. She snatched me and placed me back in the camera bag. I do not see the humor. The mouths on those fish open very wide. That is my last ride on a lily pad.
May Day 2014 Guess how I'm spending May Day?
I'm sitting on a pretty white fence... And I'm smelling the flowers!  I love the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, CA!
Bird of Paradise
I love being in tropical places, with colorful plants and animals. Here I am combining my love of plants and animals, by sitting on a bird of paradise plant! The Bird's Head  I guess I'm sitting in the orange feathers, that are on top of this funny bird's head. Where? I'm on a plant in front of the Del Coronado Hotel! I'd rather climb the roof.  This wonderful old hotel on Coronado Island in San Diego, is my favorite. I got to sit in my favorite plant and stare at my favorite roof of all time.
I like watching the people go by, too. They don't notice me. If only it were 56 years ago, then maybe I would see Marilyn Monroe or Jack Lemmon or Tony Curtis walk by... between shoots of "Some Like it Hot". Now I'm going to have to watch that movie! A Year Ago Here I am in 2012 with Beth's nephew in California. He was the one who inspired Beth 3 years ago, to get out the camera and take pictures of me. She made a silly book as a gift and never stopped taking pictures. Thomas the Train!
 This was just my size. We had a very good time together. This Year  Last week we visited again and we went on a hike way up above the Bay Area. I was surprised at how much hiking a 3-year old can do! Small Hands  Little hands are much better at posing a little bear. New Hands!  This year I got to meet someone new and I got held with even smaller hands. A Baby Brother Look at me! I have been out-cuted for sure. And I promise you, Beth's hand was holding that little elbow... so I never had the adventure of getting any closer to the mouth. I'm missing my little buddies already.
Coronado Beach  I was exhausted after working so hard in the sand. Castle  When I finished making this impressive sand structure, I just took a rest above the heart shape (on the left) with the words April 29, 2014. Well... maybe someone else made the sand castle. I lied. Hotel Del Coronado  But it was a really long hike back to the Hotel del Coronado! And that's no lie.
Muggy Days These hot muggy temps are making Little Bear reflect on the past...  He recalls nervously sitting on a pinecone, observing his first snow in Lake Tahoe. Utah And he remembers trying to ski in Utah...  He was still unsure of that wet stuff! He insisted the ski tip be wiped clean for his close up. Colorado But in Colorado he explored the snow in numerous ways.  He posed with horses near the train depot.  He found a fence near a sidewalk...good people watching.  Fur is a useful thing for enjoying the snow. The Bear is not making much use of his in Texas this winter.
