The Real Teddy Bears picnic.

If you go down to the woods today!...... I love these photos of the magnificent bears




From the Daily Mail UK.

By nature bears are solitary creatures ~ but when there's a river full of fish ready to leap straight into your paws, they will make an exception.
These astonishing pictures show the annual feeding frenzy that follows the salmon spawning season in Katmai National Park in Alaska.

To all the lovely people who follow my blog and leave a comment, thank you so much.
It always makes me happy to hear from you.

I hope that you are having a lovely week
Hugs
Carolyn

  2. This really was a teddy-bears picnic! and in such a beautiful setting. It's interesting to know that bears are solitary creatures because I always think of them as cute, cuddly and friendly creatures.

  3. What beautiful creatures. Although they're dangerous, there's something about those bears I just want to hug. I wouldn't but there's something so cute and lovable about them! Yum, fresh salmon for those beauties.
    Happy week to you, Carolyn.

  5. They are such beautiful creatures but I sure wouldn't want to run into one! Last year one came into the camp area where my girlfriend and her husband and some friends where camping and went right up to their camper!

  7. There's something still so cute about bears, even though their size can make them a little intimidating.

  9. Dear Carolyn, Nature is so amazing and I always love to watch programs about animals. I wouldn't want to meet this bear in person but doesn't he have the cutest expression while catching that salmon?
    Have a great Wednesday :-)!
    Big hugs,

  11. That is beautiful, Carolyn ♥ Although, I am stunned by the amazingly beautiful image of horses altogether, it's even more spectacular than when bears are altogether! :)

    How are you today, Carolyn? :) Thank you for dropping by my place and leaving a comment! I always enjoy your visits! :)

    Cheers to you and to yours! :)

  12. Beautiful pictures Carolyn, I think it's just amazing that both the salmon and the bears know exactly what they have to do. One of the great wonders of the world I think! Enjoy the rest of your week!

  15. Hi Carolyn,
    What magnificent pics of the picnic bears you share. They are beautiful creatures and look so loveable, although I know they are mighty and dangerous.
    Love to see them feeding on my favorite fish, salmon.

    SO enjoyed catching up on your posts I missed while away. Love the black and white, the Tiffany post with Audrey Hepburn and your flowers are beautiful. I grow those as well and mine are red.

    Thank you for stopping by after I returned. The week off went by all to fast and now it is back to reality. LOL! Trying to catch up with everything and we still have very hot temps over 100 each day.

    Have a great day and see you again soon.
    Hugs and blessings to you,
    Celestina Marie

  16. Wonderful photos but what I want to know is - who captures these? Do they just hang out in one spot waiting for wildlife to come along?

  19. Yikes! I wouldn't want to be around there for the feeding frenzy! I'll stick with your sweet little bears for company. :)

    Before we left the States, one of the stores was setting up all the Fall and Halloween stuff. I thought that was crazy and now you've mentioned a Christmas store. Why is everything so rushed?

    Hope you are having a fabulous day. I am taking my time unpacking, cleaning, organizing. No rush as I still have 2 weeks before I go back to work. Best wishes, Tammy

  20. I have to admit. I love watching the bears at the zoo. I found out the brown bears at our zoo had been held in captivity at someone's house. Animal control took them away and they ended up our zoo because they didn't think they could survive in the woods.

  22. Hi Carolyn!
    Love this! While growing up we watched The Wonderful World Of Disney and they had Old movies of bear adventures.

    Hope they left some salmon for us! :)

    Hugs,

  24. It looks like those bears have the life! Whenever you see photos of wild animals in their element, it makes me so sad to think of them in zoos.
    Hope you are having a spectacular week!
