Monochrome Monday - Grandmother [3/11/17 - 28/09/2005]!

Today Mother is sad and when she is sad, we in the Hug are sad too!
I did not have the pleasure of knowing Grandmother but those members that did like Barney, say she loved bears & stuffies.
This is her final photograph, she has Andy-Pandy with her who is a hand puppet bear she adopted from a Toy Bazaar and her pet pouch Tatty who went to the human bridge with her...
Hugs,

Monochrome Monday - Me on my One Hundredth Post!

How quickly time passes!
Was quite amazed when realised, I was about to make my 100th post!!!

Like Mother I am quite reclusive.

And, heaven for bid, that I blow my own trumpet!

But, I do believe I have done a remarkably fine job bear blogging!

So, I consider a image of myself is only befitting the occasion!

This was taken for Aileni & his Monochrome Maniacs meme...

I always think I look equally handsome in B&W!

But, wonder if anyone can guess the colour of my bandanna.

If, you can, there might be reward to mark the event???!

A clue, it is not blue.

Hugs,

Postscript -

To celebrate, Mother managed to restore my music!

All I now need, is the actual picnic in the woods!

Monochrome Monday - The Door-Stop!

Now, I know some Bloggers disregard Teddy Bear blogs!

And, a few, even go as far, as to wonder about poor Mothers mental health re helping me post!!!

But, there is one gentleman, who graciously indulges us both, even allowing me to particpate in his weekly Monochrome Maniac's meme.

Thank-you Aileni!

I do enjoy twicking images to B&W!

This is my latest Bear related effort...

Mother photographed this fine fellow of a door-stop last Autumn, whilst holidaying in Barmouth, a Welsh town, that I know is close to Aileni's heart.

He, the bear, not Aileni - LOL - graced the entrance of the Ty'r Graig Castle Hotel, where she stayed.

I believe she is heading back to there again this September.

Something to do with WELTAF and those feisty Welsh Terriers she's so darn fond of!

Hugs,

Monochrome Monday - On the Road!

Mother is @ last heading home today!
Hurrah!
However, I do personally think these youngsters have the right idea...Surely, it is now time, we, as in the household hug, went on holiday.
We, will though, certainly need a larger VW Camper-van than theirs.
And, I am not too sure about the surfing!
Hugs,


PS - Good Sport Aileni, is the gracious host of Monochrome Maniacs.

Monochrome Monday - My Halo!

Now, never let it be said that I brag that I am saintly!
But, I rest my case...The camera never ever lies!
Hugs,

PS - Aileni is Monochrome Maniacs headmaster!

Monochrome Monday - Garden Bear!

I think this fellow would have made a fine addition to our garden...Do not understand why Mother did not smuggle him home in her suitcase, when she returned from visiting friends last week!
Hugs,

PS - Monochrome Maniacs headmaster is Aileni.

Monochrome Monday - Poor Bunny!

I cannot, express my dismay, shock, horror, at what some individuals will do when the Easter Bunny does not bring the eggs they wanted...It was just too painful to show in colour!
Hugs, a distraught,

Monochrome Monday - Yours Truly!

Please, do not judge me as vain, but I think I look good in silver tones.
And, besides which have not done a Monochrome Maniac's post for a while.
Here I am, raising a paw in 'Greeting' to you all...Hugs

Monochrome Monday - Silver Bears!

Do you remember these chocolate bears from my ABC Wednesday post for the letter C???...Since, I still have not brought myself, to eat all of them yet, lined up the survivors, for a Aileni photograph shoot!
It is interesting, how Gold becomes Silver in Black and White!
Yes, I have the makings of a fine Monochrome Maniac.
Hugs,

Monochrome Monday - Bear-R-Us!

Miss Merry and I decided to try a little experimental Black & White bear-tography for Aileni...We're not sure, all his fellow Monochrome Maniacs are quite ready for bears that blog after a rude comment that Mother moderated away last week, but we like to play!

Monochrome Monday - Bear Faced Snow!

Disappointed, as I was with the lack of Bear Snow Sculptures, when Mother showed me her other photographs taken of the recent frost & snow, I quickly claimed this one, for myself...Looks like a Bear face to me???

Guess, I might just participate in both Alieni's Monochrome Maniacs - blog HERE & Katney's Odd Shots this week!

Monochrome Monday - Entrance Gates!

Having been given the go ahead to become a Monochrome Manic, by its gracious creator & host Aileni, I thought this week, I would tinker with a photograph of my believed & beloved birthplace.

These are the Palace's front entrance gates - imposing, do you not think...

Monochrome Monday - Miss Judy's Arrival!

Now, am unsure whether to play officially here!
Is the greater Monochrome Maniac World, quite ready for me yet???
Do not want to upset Mother's good friend Aileni, creator & host!
But, could not resist a small effort @ tweaking images to B&W.
Dear wheelie Miss Judy's arrival with her paw wounded in her travel box, seemed a suitable start... Hugs,

PS - We are honoured!
Aileni says we can participate.
What a good sport he is!
