    Yes, hibernating vs. berries!

    I meant for this one to suggest the emergence of spring from winter. Perhaps adding “still” in the second line will make this clearer.

    The bear needs more than our envy! He needs to sniff his berries – in peace.

  6. Borut

    Peace, Brother Bear!:)

    Yes, peace. And battle, too. A peaceful battle is best, still.
