    I wonder why those chose bears. They've got Hokies all over Blacksburg.

    I guess there are actually a lot of black bears in the Catskills. not too many black bears in this group.

    oh boy, am going to have a pretty good day today ... love those colourful bears. if all the bears in your country are as colourful as these displayed here, nobody would run away from them.

    i collect TD's - only those i can afford. more of my girls' toys i can't part away.

    Oh my goodness, that's just funny. We had moose years ago in Toronto, but they got auctioned for charity and now they are all over the place throughout Ontario.

    How colorful! And what a great variety! They are like the "John Doe" statues we have around here. I really like them, and would like to have photos of these bears, too. Happy WW!

    Love these. Back in 2001 we had
    57 gators decorated this way.
    And a nearby community had 52 horses
    on display.

    Bears are definitely my favorite !!

    Happy WW!

    These are great. I've seen frogs and cows but not bears. A fun community project.

    Oh - how cute!

    We had cows in Kansas City a few years ago and I hoped to gather lots of photos of the event...but sadly, never got around to it.

    I see these bears and for some reason think of the little chocolate bunnies in the boxes :)

    Very interesting photos.

    It's funny how different places use different themes like this. In Maine, it was lighthouses.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! Plenty more seascapes in my Etsy shop: IntuitivePhotography.Etsy.com.

    Oh, this makes me nostalgic for the Chicago Cows they had years ago. I lived Downtown at the time and was always passing cows on the way to school and work and just going for a walk.

    These bears are adorable and you put them together so well.

    Awesome WW!

    Here’s mine!

    Belfast Maine did a Bears show many years ago - the Bears are the mascot of University of Maine and I remember having such a great time rambling around town looking at all the wonderful variations of ways to decorate a bear.

    I went to Mass in Belfast Maine once...no bears were involved.
    Now Belfast Ireland is another matter.
