I think I'd rather that cute not-so-little guy hug the tree than me! This is really cute, Simon. Can't see a single thing I'd like different. Very well done in all respects. Thanks for the smile.

I knew I should never have left you unsupervised.

This is really neat. Certainly one of the best bear images from the past couple years. Nice one!

You bet it does! This is really cute and funny ;). For me even the rather busy surroundings actually work well in this image.

This is SOOO cute! Nice timing for the bear to stand up and lean against the tree. I wish I saw that.
