The black and white photo and the one bathing are the same bear. The other one is a different bear from a different zoo. Don't know what kind they are but I would run if I saw them in the woods. :-)

Neighbor took this on the next road over from me, pretty much in our backyard. Would love to see him! Sorry to get off topic lol. Love your zoo critter pics.

Wow. That’s crazy!

I saw these by my cabin in New Mexico. 3 bears at once!

Whoa. Now that would be the thing to hang on a wall in a frame instead of a hunting trophy.

Great photos. Re: Bears in the wild, where my partner and I are moving to in tropical North Queensland, large Salt Water Crocodiles are regularly seen and when it floods they can halt traffic on bridges, a recent photo of which my brother in law took I will see if I can find.

Yes, like I said... wild beauty!
It's always a gift to see a creature in the wild. Hair raising but a gift! I especially appreciate snakes.

Now ... salt water crocs! That's another thing...

Hello,

I like the 'scary' nightmare bear.

Below are some rehearsal pictures ;-)
Preparing for tea (Chinese Gong-Fu style) visitors tomorrow, tasting a newly acquired batch, cleaning everything up, practicing movements.

Thank you

Meitou,
somewhere here is a thread that mentions the unity of Japanese (influenced) gardens and their buildings.
The tea pictures were made in the main room of a small, mostly wooden building, close to the pond, that belongs to the garden.
Under a shared roof, there are three small buildings, or better 'rooms', that open with a glass/shoji front to the pond and each other.
The little Zendo... the multifunctional room, I am using for serving tea... and separate sanitary.
A modernish, westernised version of what we wanted to preserve from the originals.

Anne,
you're very welcome... There is more than one cushion in the little Zendo. I am always a bit too excited, but enjoy sharing it very much! Working with clay, I think you'd enjoy the artist-made Yixing Zisha clay pots, I am using for Chinese tea ceremony.

Gassho,

- Zisha clay pots, I am using for Chinese tea ceremony- Kotei

For me there is no shape more beautiful than a well made bowl. A container, offering potential.
A lovely invitation.

Bows

I used to love Chess but it takes too much time and I rather do things that are more fun and less structured.

Chess with a silver back gorilla would be an interesting experience to say the least [emoji6].
