These are the roots of a pine tree that is no more. These are the bears at Huntington Park in Redding. Their pals the wolves are in the post below. I love the wolves for making me look up and think of the mysterious interaction between animals and the heavens; I love the bears for the intense, piercing way they take in what is right here.

Very nice collection of photos.
Have a great WW.
I like the tie in between the posts and your thoughtful inights! You pics are excellent as always!
The trees in the background add a nice touch.
Thanks Sandy, lovely animals..great sculptor. They remind me of the bears I saw at Maymont Park in Richmond a few weeks ago!
Have also enjoyed catching up with your other posts...a beautiful little blue bird...and the rhodedenron also!
The look in the cubs eyes are precious. The look in the Mother's eyes is fierce, protective.
I love that statue of the bears. =)

Oh so nice! Love families:)
Sandy: A woderful look at the bears in the park, nicely captured.
Another masterful piece of art for us to appreciate!
Nice carvings. Look very real.
call me a fool, but I am somehow impressed by this kind of statues!
Those are great. You can definitely see the mothers love there:) Happy WW and thanks for stopping by.
interesting the mother instinct in all of us.
Wonderful shots of the bears sculptures, Sandy. In general, I like seeing the white bears in documentary photos or movies but, sincerely, sometimes I find them a bit worrying!
wonderful photos of great sculptures. Nice thoughts on what these animals can reflect for us.
amazing craftsmanship!
Lovely wooden sculptures! Love them!
Hi Sandy,

I love the photos, but your words are even better; I'd never thought of it in quite that way, but it's lovely to think of the wolves celebrating the heavens and the bears minding the earth--really beautiful.
I was hoping she's be making an appearance! She's magnificent!
Ah, the 'eyes' have it. Isn't it amazing the stories that the eyes hold? I just want to reach out and touch them. Nicely done.
They have the most marvelous faces, such expressive eyes.

WOW !! What a very cool carving of the bears ..so life like..
It's also a great way of making use of a tree stump..
Wonderful photos, Sandy !
They got some real talented people/person to create those sculptures, they really capture the essence of the animals!
with mother's day here celebrated just last sunday, your phots made me think of a "mother"s love"... and i love what you said about bears... maybe we should try to be more like them --- taking in what we have and not wishing for what we haven't got:)...
I really like the way your look at life and how you express it.
These are wonderful sculptures Sandy and I love your title and post about them.
I have been enjoying seeing your sculptures; sounds like a fun trail.
You do find the most interesting things to photograph and share. These are lovely ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Sandy-looks like a lovely place to visit.
Fantastic slide shows.
I allmost forgot to be polite and comment some other WW entries as well.
I was really thrilled;-)))
They re incredible. I can't imagine being talented enough to create something like that.
The baby bears faces almost look like ferrets. I love the way the wolves are poised to howl.
Thanks for posting the wonderful pictures. I like middle picture the best.
Great collection of photos, but I really like how you can get us to see what you see... or what you saw that prompted you to shoot them.
Those eyes do make you feel that animals have souls. No?
