Today my husband, Dave, and I drove up to Tahoe for lunch and I found these bears hanging around at this quaint lodge. Don't they look real ??

and here's a picture of the lake

Great photo's Patty. Someone sent me a link a few months ago to the artist who makes those bears. He does them out of wood and some he does out of Stone, he had one set that was sitting at a picnic table playing chess and they were huge and I believe they were almost $40,000.00 or something like that. Not that they weren't worth it that's for sure a lot of work goes into them. He also had done a mantle piece that was gorgeous, it was like a big log and it had holes in it, and there were animals in each hole peeking out or hanging out of them. Hmmmm now it's gonna drive me nuts, I'll hunt for the web page and post it if I can find it.

Ok I managed to find it, this stuff is amazing

Wow, $40,000 per bear ! ! ! I can believe that. The homes in this area range from $2,000,000 up to over $10,000,000. They can probably afford them. I'd love to see the website of the artist. Hope you find it.
