While shooting Rocky Mountain Hi photos, I thought it might be cute to crochet enough bears to write out "Hi" for that specific gallery. While making the bears, more photo ideas kept popping into my head. While shooting my growing collection of bears in various settings, I remembered something my journalism partners-in-crime used to affectionately tease. When newspaper subscribers asked how I get so close to wildlife, my former co-workers would affectionately spin a tall tale about me keeping a bunch of stuffed animals in the back of my car, explaining that I set them out for pictures when no one's looking. So now I've come full circle. Now I really do carry soft children's toys and warm fuzzies in the back seat!
