It's been a bit since I last posted a bear drawing, so here's 151 Walker looking all cute sitting in the riffles.

This year I've been making an effort to try and enter a design into each one of Spoonflower's weekly design challenges. Mostly just for me, because it gets me to try some things that I might not otherwise. I thought I would share my entry for the latest challenge, birds of prey wallpaper. I went with barn owls, mostly because I enjoy drawing owls. I also may or may not have created this in a bunch of different colors. (I am super overdue to order proofs of my designs this year.) Ultimately I chose to enter this dark blue version.

A quick drawing of single lady 909 walking through

A quick drawing of single lady 909 walking through the grass yesterday. With so few bears around still, I decided I would draw whichever bear shows up on camera first each day. (Although I was also very happy to see adorable 129 show up last night.) So if any bears would like to show up today, I will draw you! It's sunny out! The light is great! Come strolling down the spit road or something. (Special note for 901: If you would like to show your new cubs (!!!!) off to us, I will not complain. Even if it's just a quick appearance. We won't mind!)

Today's daily-ish bear is actually two bears, 128

Today's daily-ish bear is actually two bears, 128 Grazer's now 3.5 year old twins, commonly known as Studious (on the left in this drawing) and Social (on the right). I've drawn them in their fluffy golden potato phase. I feel like the last couple of years, they showed up looking like a pair of hyenas and then once Grazer started fishing, they morphed into their fluffy potato phase.

I love Studious and Social. When I first stumbled across the Brooks Falls cam in 2020, the first bears I saw were Grazer and her two spring cubs (somehow now it is very hard to imagine that Studious and Social were ever small) standing on the lip of the falls. I watched them all evening, until it got dark and I couldn't see the falls anymore, just amazed that two cubs would stand there so very obedient for so long. Studious and Social got to have an extra year with Grazer last year, which means they got huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, but it also meant they got another year of learning how to fish everywhere from Grazer. It certainly sounds like Studious and Social will be out on their own this year, since 747 was seen trying to court their mom. While I'll miss seeing the two of them on the lip with their mom, looking like a trio of golden fluffy potatoes (occasionally with their big potato-esque brother, 903, next to them), I look forward to seeing what Studious and Social do on their own. I hope they stick together. I know last year Social made time to play with as many of her friends as possible. I'm hoping that 306 brings them into her little group of friends (including 203, 354, 308, and 384 ... and that she gets 335 to join, too) and they form the ultimate subadult girl gang. Also, as someone who has only seen Grazer when she had these two as cubs, I'm kind of super curious about seeing what single lady Grazer is like.

And now I've written a novel. Bears are awesome. The end.

It's 480 Otis day over on the Explore bear chat, so I figured it was a good day to draw Otis napping. I've always enjoyed it when he shows up in the lower river and floats around eating or napping in the water.
