Bears in Wisconsin by myhrhelper

Bears in Wisconsin

The weather was cold outside but I walked to the river located at the end of our street which is part of the Milwaukee River. As I was walking I spotted this bear but I wasn't afraid since "The Bears" are pretty harmless in Wisconsin at this time.

I am not a winter fan so when it is too cold I will have plenty of indoor shots you may see some appearances of other bears during January or February (you have been warned).
That's amazing. Not something you'd ever see here.

Looks a very cuddly bear to me, probably wants to come home with you to get out of the cold!

Great shot Kathy, this bear seems quiet friendly

Beautiful scene. Does this count as a photobomb for this week's theme?

@httpgeffed @marlboromaam @judithdeacon @simon0128 @mejbronant @djepie @seilaeloise @sabanford @windmill @hjbenson @kimmistephens Thank you very much for the compliments. Because of the car accident I'm pretty stranded here & my options are limited - so I just walked to the end of the street by the river. This bear came home with me but because my husband is such a Packer's fan I better keep it hidden (jk). I wondered if anyone would pick up on that. I took shots but my hands were frozen so I made a few adjustments with settings but didn't keep trying different shots since I was an ice cube. I do have a collection of bears so I think I will use them from time to time in the coming months.

Nice wintry shot, the bear looks really scary!!! Look forward to seeing more bears in future shots!!

Well I agree, he does look pretty harmless, but you never know.

So cute! Heh. It's a very pretty shot. I love seeing snow. (But not being there and being cold.) Thank you for putting a smile on my face today!

This is a gorgeous shot... and fortunately that bear seems quite tame... almost cuddly, I'd say! :)

@samdan thank you, you don't want to turn your back on him lol @digitalrn lol looks can be deceiving @shanne thank you so much I really appreciate it, @adobewaters that comment made my day! @peterdegraaff thank you so much @lacedxxoo lol thank you @swilde thank you so much - :) @jannkc @kerristephens @grammyn @clarissajohal thank you all so very much! we need a little humor in our life @myautofocuslife thank you so much - I try to have a little humor. I would prefer to see snow in everyone else's shot, I would love to see green grass & palm trees this time of year @ladybug71012 @marilyn @herussell @vclutter @kiwichick thank you so much. I thought the scenery is good but a little boring this time of year. Hope I've seen some of your pictures you are creative.

haha - so cute!
January 5th, 2012  
eeeek! i thought i've commented on this already :-( in any case, i like the playfulness this photo portrays. i like the fresh snow dusting on the trees and on the reeds. it also conveys how cold it is. great shot, kathy.

Aren't they supposed to be hibernating or something?is that why you aren't afraid of him? He's half asleep?
January 6th, 2012
