Cuddly Friends in Strange Places
When I was in Scottsdale last Friday, I notice quite a few cuddly stuffed animals in some very strange places. Can you see that cute little dog squeezed in between the "L" and the "O" in Robert Indiana's Love sculpture.
If not, here is a closer view. There appears to be someone else joining the pup inside the "O".
Then right along Camelback Road I spotted this Teddy Bear fixed to a palm tree.
I learned the next day that there has been a world-wide event happening inspired by a children's book "We are Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen. Since so many children are staying at home right now, people have put teddy bears (and other stuffed animals) in places around their yards or in their windows so when parents are walking with their children, the kids can be searching for the bears.
I must be a kid at heart because I'm going to keep my eye out for these cuddly creatures too.
To wspaniałe w trudnym czasie epidemii odrobina radości.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful project. I have never heard of it but from now on I will be on the lookout for the stuffed animals.

Me too Sharon, such a cute idea. Especially love the visitors in LOVE 💙
ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep an eye out for them, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteNice idea.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I guess I'll have to be on the lookout then. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I'll have to look around when I;m out.
ReplyDeleteFun for kids of all ages.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep an eye out up here.
ReplyDeleteSteve in London and I have had the missing photo error. Apparently a lot of people do. The Google community has not responded to my asking for help. Steve deletes the bad photo and puts the original on back. I tried that, but then the box would come back. Now I go into the html (which is not complicated) and delete the html for that box. None of this gets to root cause analysis but it does get rid of the box. If you go to this post

I put more details in a comment.
Love the teddy bears!

ReplyDeleteI Skyped with a friend recently who had a bear in the window behind her. Our weather is too poor to put one outside and none of our windows lend themselves to displaying a bear. Too bad because I have a nice collection of them.
ReplyDeleteEllie calls them stuffies.
ReplyDeleteLove the bears! I hadn't heard about this until Sabine told me about it -- when I posted a bear photo of my own. I didn't realize it was linked to something bigger!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this, in windows.
