  Oui, vraiment c’est moi. Je voulais montrer que je suis sportive, bienque je suis entrée dans le troisième âge. 🙂 Je suis très actif, car je marche quotidiennement de longs trajets et Je ai lu beaucoup de livres en français et suis ce qui se passe autour de nous dans le monde modern. Tes preferèes sont aussi mes preferèes. Dans mon prochain post, tu verras qu’est-ce que c’est que ça que nous avons vu? à Helsinki au début de ce mois. Merci beaucoup.
  
  Belle journèe à toi. Bises.

Hello Matti, nice to discover part 2 of your blog series about the bear carving! Nice sculptures! The big one with the salmon looks impressive but I smiled a lot about the little bear hunting. Not only or most about the fact that he’s doing so – but about his facial expression and the way he’s lying there. The artist did a rather good job (as the others too).
Thanks for showing more of these awesome bears!

There are many bear carvings! Each of bears are unique, charming, realistic, and pretty.
Also in Hokkaido in the north of Japan, there is a traditional carved wooden bear. They are often to souvenirs. Many of the carved wooden bear hold in its mouth a salmon.
Kiitos 🙂
