When they dance (balanced on one or two or even three different paws), their life force is charged with an energy that is happy and joyous! They havent a care in the world. Its one of the reasons we love small bears so much.

A picture really is worth a thousand words

Lyta’s art invokes visions of the works of Nunavat Master carvers Jimmy Iqaluq

I love the alert posture of this bear

I sense that these birds are aggressive BUT also proud

My clients are thoroughly infatuated with muskoxen

He was the first Inuit carver to sell me one of his pieces
