Where Am I Sitting?

​One Night in Pueblo, Colorado

We spent one night in this crazy mansion.
Picture
I spent a lot of time exploring. 

Guess what I'm sitting on! It's made of wood. 
Picture
This carved part in not meant for sitting, if you a person.
Picture
People sit on the soft velvet cushion. But I'm a 2-inch bear! 

Lucky me!

A Mansion in Colorado

7/27/2024

Soft and Colorful

​I like sitting on soft things.
Picture
I like colorful things, too.

Grand Furniture

I couldn't decide which piece of velvet furniture was my favorite.
Picture
They were all comfy. I kept moving from one to the other.

Orman Mansion

That's the kind of thing you do, when you stay in a Mansion in Pueblo, Colorado.
Picture
When the Orman Family lived here years ago, I wonder if they jumped around from couch to chair, like I did?

Kids on the Banister

Did the Orman kids slide down the banister?
Picture
Probably not! Too many things in the way.

From Velvet to Wood

From the blue couch I looked up at the funny wooden animal, at the bottom of the railing.
Picture
Who cares about velvet, when you can climb on a funny lion creature, with wings!

Griffin?

​I think this big guy was a Griffin.
Picture
I'll bet the Orman kids weren't allowed on this guy, but I climbed to the top of his head.
Picture
Beth said, "Cool! You look like you're sitting on top of a Greek mask, worn by actors in the ancient theatres of Greece." 

I said. "I can tell you're jealous."

At the Arcade

Manitou Springs, Colorado

Manitou Springs has a fun old Arcade. We visited early, before the summertime crowds.  
Picture
That was wise. I didn't want a little tot trying to share this saddle with me!

No Galloping

I loved this old zebra-horse, but it didn't move. Beth didn't put in any coins.
Picture
I was still nervous, because I couldn't reach the reins.

Near the Horn

She put me up by the horn, because people who aren't great at horseback-riding, like to have something to hold onto.
Picture
Picture
That works for people. But I couldn't wrap my paws around that horn.

​Panda Time

​Next I sat on a panda's head.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Beth didn't have a quarter and that's okay. It was slippery, so I would have fallen.  

Elephant!

I didn't like the panda eyes staring at me, so Beth moved me to the top of an elephant. It was my favorite.
Picture
I was tempted to slither over his forehead and slide down his trunk!

Time to Go

But Beth said it was time to go. Families were starting to wander around.
Picture
Beth said she saw a boy chuckling, when he noticed her posing me on the elephant. I told her I didn't see anyone, but she put me away in her bag.

Next time I want to go INSIDE the arcade! Skeeball could be very exciting!

Snow on Memorial Day

​Breckenridge, Colorado
​
Picture
I love snow, but not so much on Memorial Day.
Picture
In Breckenridge, I met some friends who were covered in snow. It was almost June. Time for flowers. Not snow.
Picture
I sat on the snowy ear of a deer statue and I apologized. "Sorry for complaining." I whispered in her ear. ​"I heard you had a really, really long winter. I'll bet you're a lot more ready to feel the sun on your fur, than me." 

I think she agreed.

​Climbing with Ms. Donkey

Picture
A lot of friends go on road trips to Colorado. Ms. Donkey and I didn't have time for mountain climbing, but we did climb.

​Big Ears
​

Picture
We climbed right up next to some ears.

​Ahhhh! The View!
​

Picture
We climbed right up on top of the horses head. We took a deep breath and took in the view.

Surrounded by Mountains
​

Picture
We didn't get to go to the Rockies, but we had a good climb on this old horse. And we got to see the beautiful mountains that surround Durango. That was good enough, for our one day in Colorado.

Colorado Ghost Town

7/1/2013

South Park City
​

Picture

I decided to wander this old ghost town and transition away from all the nature photos... with flowers. So there is a dandelion in this picture, but I'm sitting on an old rusty piece of metal. I like that.

Railroad Tracks?
​

Picture

Nope. These are tracks from for an old mining car.

I figured the tall weeds meant that nothing has moved on these tracks for a long time.

Rustic Wood
​

Give me a sturdy piece of wood to stand on for a change!  I'm tired of flowers that bend under your weight. This worn old piece didn't quiver when the wind blew either!

A Wheel
​

Picture
 




I'm not sure what this old cart or wagon once carried, but I'm sure these wheels have traveled through a lot of snow and mud. It was beautiful on this June day.  Just a little snow in the distant mountains.
Picture
 




Hay!
​

Picture

One more texture for me on this day!  Hay!  It was a little itchy, but at least there were no needles hiding.

A Bale of Hay
​

I've always wanted to climb in a hay stack and this is almost as good.  I had a good view of the old steam engine and a wooden water tower.

This was a nice break from all the nature I've been forced to enjoy lately!

Snow in Colorado!

Soap Suds?
​
​It looks like I'm taking a bath. I'm not.
Picture

This is real snow and I got to sit in it! This tiny bit of snow was sort of clean.
​

Too Dirty

Picture

This snow was too cold and dirty.
Picture

Ahh!  You can barely see me, but I'm sitting on a nice rocky perch!  I love Independence Pass!

Hot Winter in Houston!

Muggy Days

These hot muggy temps are making Little Bear reflect on the past...
Picture

He recalls nervously sitting on a pinecone, observing his first snow in Lake Tahoe.

Utah

And he remembers trying to ski in Utah...
Picture
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.
Picture

He posed with horses near the train depot.
Picture

He found a fence near a sidewalk...good people watching.
Picture

Fur is a useful thing for enjoying the snow.  The Bear is not making much use of his in Texas this winter.

    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.
