The city of Belfast, Maine has begun an annual tradition of having artists decorate bear statues, which are then posted around the downtown area. Julian posed with some of them:
Sitting with Aunt Sharon; a polar bear is
behind us on the left. Click on the image for a closeup.

A bear has caught a
fish...
and me!

A Valentine's
bear--just
like me.

A silly bear, with spots
and a spinning sail.

Mommy and Daddy tell me
not
to stand on
books. Why
does this bear get to? This one is outside the Belfast Library
