Living With the Animals

A friend sent me this picture of deer taking advantage of the shade of a trampoline and it made me think of the Alaskan bear cub photos that circulated about a year ago.

How playful these bears are, using the childrens' playground. I did not know that bears had so much sense of fun.

Proving once again that there might not be all that much differences between the species. Leave it to the young to point this out to us. Love the one on the slide:)

Hi Linda, What amazing photos of the animals. I like the one of the deer sleeping under the trampoline.

Olivia, they certainly look as though they're having fun!

Mary Beth, I'm always amazed by the similarities between the species...

Thanks Lydia, it's nice to have you home:)

I think those bear pix were taken in the general turf where my daughter has moved ... all youngsters in Alaska are drilled in what to do when a moose comes calling. I suppose they have a drill for the bears as well. Thanks for re-running those pictures; I've been thinking about them.

What great photos - especially the bear cubs. They look as though they are having a wonderful time.

Those animals are so clever and will use whatever we have if they find a use for it. It sure is a nice place to get some shade and what a fun place for the bears.

Those deer seem really tame, no way they would do that around here! I hadn't seen the cub pictures either, those are funny.

Please don't hate me but I tagged you for a meme - 7 random things about you! And if you are the Linda from AZ that placed an order at Hey Teach today, thank you so much.

Those pictures are so cute. Thanks for posting them, I have always had a soft spot for bears and this only increases it.

GJ, from what the Old Sourdoug said, they have a handle on co-existing with bears in Alaska. Don't worry.


Rowan, they seem to be having fun! I guess kids will be kids:)

OldML, I'm sure they think all these things exist entirely for their pleasure!

Joni, I think there's no hunting season where these deer live..

Mary Beth, I can handle the meme:) and you're so welcome...can't wait to see the jellycats!

Hey Teach, I am attracted to bears too, and find I've accumulated a little collection over the years..
