I'm sharing this photo I took of two black bears playing for #SilentSunday because that's what I was when I came across them while hiking...I kept perfectly silent and still as they wrestled like I wasn't even there. I'm still not sure if they even saw me. Eventually they curled up for a nap behind a bush.

A friend of mine once told me that every morning she'd find that something had taken a single bite out of many of the tomatoes in her garden. She finally discovered who the guilty culprit was...it was a fox. How foxy!

I couldn't tell you why exactly but I think of bears as my spirit animal. I don't get a chance to see them much anymore since moving...I miss those experiences. But the first time I saw one when I was hiking alone, I was terrified!

Sometimes I intentionally create something to calm myself. Not that I'm dealing with anything wrong in particular, but just because sometimes all the little things build up. Hopefully this image expresses tranquility and balance.

Chickadees are one of my favorite birds...they will eat right out of your hand if you have something of interest. And spring is my favorite season, so I've combined chickadees and cherry blossoms in this #artwork with a quilted effect to give it some depth.(Not a quilt though!)

This is a black #wolf I photographed years ago. He was walking towards us, head down, and limping a little. When he noticed my husband and me with our two dogs he stared for a moment then trotted off across a field and went into the forest. What a memory! I've cropped the photo down quite a bit...

I once saw a pack of #wolves running single file along the forest's edge. I whipped out my phone to take a video. They all seemed oblivious to our presence in the distance except for the last wolf, who stopped and stared for a moment, then carried on. What a moment!

Mama #raccoon had just convinced her baby to climb down from a tree. She was crossing the street to retrieve her other two babies who were acting like they couldn't be seen hiding behind a small bush. I gave the photo a watercolor effect to soften it.
