  • :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) ! Mike I have really enjoyed those funny guys and also the great quality of your shots. In true you have captured a VERY funny situation and it was a pleasure looking at this bears parade with the perfect eye of your camera (and your :-) ) My favorites shots are 6, 8, 9, 16, the excellent perspective in 22 :-D, 25, 28, 41, 48, 54, 72 (really beautiful), 79 and 89. My applause and my THANKS form this HAPPY virtual and strange bear tour! CIAO Ruggero PS: mi sbagliero', ma ho l'impressione che in molte foto tu abbia atteso che passasse una bella ragazza o comunque qualcuno che desse un tocco di movimento allo scatto.... E' vero ? CIAO ed ancora ..... BRAVO!!

  • Dear Mike, Thank you for visiting my featured album and your kind comments in my guestbook! I have done some comments as requested. I have made more than 75 Teddy Bears photos in Zurich and only 4-5 of them match yours! You have missed the Toblerone, Spiderman, Spaceman, EyeTest, Uniteddy's Colors Bears, Escimos(Swarovski), DiverBear, Ice-cream, FootballBear, Captain with a pipe and telescope, OmegaClock, GlassesBear, PushMe/Talking etc Teddy Bears! My kindest regards, Roumen

  • Hi Mike, I am very happy about this album! I learned about that 'beary' event from the newspapers but am afraid of being not in a position to visit Zurich in the next time. Thanks to your excellent reportage I have now an idea of Zurich with bears. I visited Zurich without bears in the past repeatedly. Your album and my reminiscence: a good match. Thank you for sharing and for your favourable comments on my Panda Bear album. Best wishes from Vienna (Austria), Vera

  • Hi Mike, Vera recommended your album of bears, and I must say I have really enjoyed this. I love the humorous and clever information that goes along with the pictures which makes this visit a lot of fun. Thanks!! Trudy-Oregon

  • Hi Mike, I enjoyed your bear album very much. It must be fun to see bears everywhere you go. They are very creative and interesting, and your photos show them off very well. Thank you for sharing a fun album. Take care, Carol Jean from Moline, USA.

  • Hi Mike. I visited Zurich this summer and enjoyed seeing the bears. Thanks for your photos. You caught some of the best ones. Mary, USA

  • Hello..what a lovely unique way of displaying bears. I am finding that various cities around the world have similar attractions..ie: horses, moose etc. all decorated differently. My city has Moose, though they seem to be disappearing fast...ho hum. Thank you for a most enjoyable album. Mouse in Canada

  • Mike, your teddybear pictures are all great, but you know I didn`t like them a lot.. Zurich is a VERY beautiful City. I know it, because I spent 2 nice weeks there last September,... and I know Michael is waiting for a Zurich WS-album..as well as expecting.. Well.. Big hug, Ingrid

  • Hello Mike; I just loved this album. In Seattle we had the pigs. They were copied after the pig that had resided at Pike Place Market for years. Proceeds went to benifit the The Market. In Olympia, there were the Salmon and in Baltimore last summer the blue crabs. You have inspired me with this album. There certainly must be other cities that are doing similar things. I would like to find out about them. Thank you for sharing this great album. I found it interesting and amusing and also, I got a few peeks of your beautiful city. I will look forward to seeing more of your albums. Best Wishes from Marjie in the Pacific Northwest, USA
