IN WHICH THERE BE GEESE ON BLOGLAND LANE!
I might not have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. Geese! Canada Geese! On the Blogland Lane Common!
Unfortunately, they were a bit surprised by the presence of a Bear. They kept a watchful distance, and I could get a picture of only one. Sigh! We could be such good friends if we got to know each other a bit better.
Having more humans here would also help, I think. I don't think
. . . but then, . . . well, there might be problems. I know that Humans are pretty shy about making friends with Bears. (My friend, Joanne, tried it once, before she met me, and I think she and the Bear managed to terrify each other.) Anyhow, when Humans see I have a tent and a campfire, they might not be so paralyzed or transfixed. That might help them accept the fact that Bears can be reasonable citizens of such a lovely place as Blogland Lane! Or, at least, this one can.
I'll see you when you get here, folks.
Blessings and Bear hugs!

IN WHICH BEAR APOLOGIZES FOR HIS LATENESS IN POSTING, AND GETS HIMSELF RE-ACCUSTOMED TO LIFE ON BLOGLAND LANE.
I know; I had promised to put up a picture weekly. But, well, life got in the way of my plans.
So, to make up for my neglectfulness, three pictures of snow in River City (or lack thereof). We went through these in the space of about a week, or so.
Today, temperature reached almost 30 degrees again (which is 86 °F). That is way too hot for a Bear in his right mind (or not).
I'm going to try to relax a bit more this summer, spend more time at the lake, here at Blogland Lane. I like to swim, so I'll probably be doing a lot of that. But I'll try to be discreet and not scare off you Humans. Imagine, for example, you're out having a wonderful, relaxing swim, and a Brown Bear pops up out of the water beside you. If you know me, your going to pat me on the head or shoulder, and say, "Hi, Bear; great to see you!" But if you don't know me, you might pass out. Then I'd have to carry you to shore and find some smelling salts. So this is just an advanced advisory: there will be a Bear swimming in the lake, but he is not dangerous. (Only his jokes are.)
Anyhow, I found my tent had survived well over the winter.

These big, sturdy tents made by Woods Canada will stand up to just about anything. Why is why I like them. As did my daddy before me. (And I got a great picture with the sun setting.)
Anyhow, I've found my campfire ring, and I'm going to light up a good fire on, bake up some bannock and some sweet fry bread, and treat you royally when you come by. And if you're a little skitterish around the Bear, just relax. Come up slowly the first time or two, stick you your paw (I mean hand), and if you seem decent, I'll give it a good shake (but not too enthusiastic; I know Humans are more fragile than Bears) and sit you down.
And if nobody comes around, I'll just sit here and write some poetry.
Blessings and Bear hugs.

IN WHICH BEAR TRIES AGAIN TO POST A PHOTO
Hello, again!
Things have not been going as I hoped. After I posted that snowy picture, I got so tired that I started hibernating. (That's a thing we Bears do in the winter.) Winter started the day of that snow storm, in mid-October. It's now past mid-April, and there's still snow on the ground and ice on the river. A long winter. Sigh!
I've have just recently come out of hibernation and immediately got involved in the A-Z Challenge blog hop. (I think that's close to being the official title.) Sunday is our off day — or is that day off? Anyhow, I got this picture, of a couple of Geese. Can you believe Geese showed up last week, winter or not? They were on the river just outside my den.

The temperature tried very hard to get above freezing yesterday, meaning we may yet have spring this month. And if we do have spring, that will make it easier for me to travel from home to Blogland Lane, and back. In fact, I'm thinking I might spend some of my summer here. (Promises, promises; yeah, I know.)
Anyhow, I've decided to keep my promise and post a picture a week over here, to prove to the world there is life on Blogland Lane.
Happy Sunday, everyone. Blessings and Bear hugs!
Addendum
Zoe, of you're awake, please send me an e-mail at rbcomm(at)sasktel(dot)net. I'd like to have your e-mail address so I can chat with you. Pls. & thnx.

Hello from Town Hall
This is kj, the laid back mayor of Blogland Lane who is content to let our collective blog chug along at two miles an hour.
BUT NOW:
Since Mr. Bear is going to be posting his photos and since Mim is experimenting with her Water Lily Girls, is anyone interested in having a gallery show of anything: photos, paintings, poems, stories, collages, anything?!
And maybe we should talk about the large nest that has mysteriously appeared in the northern corner of Blogland Lane...
Love
kj

IN WHICH BEAR TRIES SOMETHING NEW
Well, it has been an interesting summer. Don't have much to say except that I came out of hibernation in March, they went back to sleep until April. Then I got up, and did, well, things a Bear would normally do, like eat and sleep. And try to stay out of trouble. (That is difficult for me.)
Anyhow, over the summer, I was doing this and that, and waiting for hibernation until next spring.
But.
Have you ever notice how quiet it is around Blogland Lane? Beautiful houses, delightful shops and the like. But nobody seems to be here. Not even the Blogland Lane Municipal Office. All so very strange.
Anyhow, Bear decided to change that. Maybe.
Bear is going to start putting up photos. In front of my tent, and over to the side a bit (so they don't get too smoky from the fire). At least one a week. And after I've got a few up, um, well, . . . I'm not sure what will come next.
And I'll see if I can set out some tea with hunny, and maybe some cookies. (Humans like cookies; I know that for a fact.)
Anyhow, it has been snowing up in the hills, so I thought I would start with a snow picture.
That does look kinda blizzardy, doesn't it?
The other thing that came to mind, just now, was a quotation. Something about stating things. Oh, yes: "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." That was from a chap somewhere in Asia, named, . . . named, . . . ah, yes! His name was Lao-tzu. I think. Anyhow, I've taken the first step, and there will be more.
Blessings and Bear hugs to all!

Second test
I tried a new app for the iPhone to do posts and managed to get it to post...but on the wrong blog. (blogland!). So I'm trying this again.
I've been working on the water lily pics, redid the turtle one so that it looks more like they are on water and a new one with the kayak ( work in process) and talking to the fishes in color.
Hope this posts!
