One of many Bear statues around the city streets
Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! If there is anything that I can change that really needs changing and I can do it in editing - then I will change it and re-post the photo! I promise I won't scream and shout or cry for very long!

@Darren: Thanks Darren! They had different ones on many streets in Victoria.
Hi Anne! That is great! What beautiful artwork! They did this in Washington DC, but it was with Panda Bears, I may have a couple of old photos of them, I'll have to check in my archives. Great Photo!

@Jen: Hi Jen! They actually are nice artwork aren't they! The have similar sculptures in downtown Vancouver and even one or two here in Whiterock. I can't remember who sculpted them offhand - but have an idea it was some project connected with the University of British Columbia or Simon Frazer University. Will have to look it up. I bet the panda bears would be nice. If you find some will you post them please?
Funny capture!

Hey Anne - you better watch out for bears! This one is very colorful and doesn't look too dangerous. Nice shot!!! Great colors!

@Jerry: Thanks Jerry! No! this one didn't chase me - but one did, once! That was before I had a zoom lens or anything really - with my eye to the viewfinder and following him, I got too damn' close. Have been trying to find that picture?
Hi Anne! Great photo =) We had something like this in Melbourne and Singapore except they were Horses and Lions respectively =) I suppose every country has their own animals to paint =D...if you're wondering horses aren't the state animal of Melbourne...we just have this huge horse race called the Melbourne Cup which is considered important enough to make it a public holiday =D I guess Melburnians really love their racing =D
