Photo Hunt #26: Furry


san diego 079, originally uploaded by airam94564.

With this week's theme, the possibilities are endless. One can either go with the obvious or he/she can be very imaginative. I chose to be obvious this week.

Taken at San Diego Zoo, November 2004.

Wanna join Photo Hunt, here's the link.

I don't think it's obvious at all -not common to see a bear that close up! It's a beautiful photo of one my favorite furry wild animals.

happy weekend!

That's a lovely bear portrait! I need to look into my archives :D Seems as though he wont be savage when you get near.

Lurch--I know Tracy, I have been checking every few hours for two day or so and you're still down. Darn.

Pat said...

Oh, great shot of the furry bear!

Happy Weekend.

Liz said...

I nearly did bear too! But I'd used bear photos earlier in the week for an ABC post. They are magnificent animals.

julie said...

What a beautiful bear! They look cute as cubs but not cute anymore when they are grown!

Sidney said...

He looks fierce and dangerous !

Nice photo. Been a lot time since I visited our zoo. Used to bring my sons there when they were young but now that they grown up, they go there with friends. I think I need to go visit a zoo one of these days...lol

Colin Campbell said...

Ooo... a beautiful brown bear! It may be obviously furry but still don't think I'll be seeing that many bears on this Photo Hunt! :)

The bear doesn't seem to like to have his portrait taken.

Pink {Aloha Monkey} said...

I wouldn't want to get too close to that bear!

Biker Betty said...

Wow, great furry photo. I wouldn't consider this obvious. I didn't expect to see a bear. I went with obvious too.

PowersTwinB said...

He may be obvious to some...but it sure looks like you are awfully close to that furry beast! My hunt is up please come and visit soon!

napaboaniya said...

Looks like grizzy bear just had a swim :P

Pietro said...

Fantastic shot, Maria.
He looks worrying, and you have depicted him very well.

Heart of Rachel said...

It's a great looking bear. Bears can look so fierce and intimidating up close but their teddy counterparts are so irresistible.

Shinade said...

oh my now I think my squirrel was an obvious shot. This is not obvious to me.

You did a fantastic job on the theme. Oh my all of your pictures are simply wonderful.

I will be back out on the road this spring through summer with my hubby. I can't wait. There's always so much to see and so many places to get wonderful shots!

Happy day!
Jackie:-)
