For Marie for watching out for us and Steve "dital" for being concerned about my not shooting recently... and for any other bear lovers -- the latest member of our family under the spotlight.

Cheers,

Don

It's a beautiful beautiful shot

what does that mean Don
is it his new name ?

it has to be good or you wouldn't have made it the title

the posh stitching on the feet and through the centre of the face
makes him very special ( & expensive looking)
:cool:

Don - do you ever take a bad photo? :) Lovely use of light.

Hi Marie,

Rather than being a traditional Japanese blessing, Hiromichi Nakano is the designer's name. :p Of course, it's the bear's name as far as I'm concerned.

I searched the entire bear shop twice looking for a bear for Leela and it was only when I started rooting around behind all the others on my second desperate pass through the store that I found him suffocating in a plastic bag tied with a ribbon.

I de-bagged him and found him charming. And although I was willing to spend up to US$75 on a bear that day, he was only a tenth of that. It's never the cost, always the personality.

Cheers,

Don

I agree the personality is everything
how some come across.

amazing how they are made a certain way with a certain expression.

or maybe something else about them

this one is just a pillowhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

I only mentioned the expence (hang ithttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif )
because stitching like that usually would add to the price of anything.

(thinking on )
I think it is satin ribbon woven inhttp://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif

but it would take some stitching around the ribbon anyway
you got a real bargain.
and a beautiful bear.

and it's a real beauty of a picture Don

thanks

give Nako (for short) my regards
