As I mentioned earlier, I won a poetry contest. (Still can't really believe it — has something to do with my self-image about not being a poet.)
My prizes arrived today. Wow! Excitement!
First, a beautiful Bear picture — a fitting award for a contest related to Bears. This, from Rachel Westfall, of Whitehorse, in Canada's Yukon Territory, who sponsored the contest. (My picture of her picture doesn't do justice to her work —you'll see much better on her blog.)
The other two items are also part of the "prize package."
The pinkish bear is carved from Jade (technically "Rhodonite") at the Cassiar Mountain Jade Store in Jade City, British Columbia. It's also from Rachel. The "Bear Paw" is from another contestant, S. L. Corusa, an amazing poet (like Rachel) who lives in Manilla, in the Philippines. (There are no boundaries to the world wide web!)
So to Rachel and S. L., thank you, and many thanks again. These are cherished items.

I read the poems on the original blog site but couldn't leave a comment. You had stiff competition. Congratulations.

Thanks, BF and Wendy. I have some real treasures to enjoy, and I expect to enjoy them for a long time.

Poetry! From journalism to poetry, what talent you have. Well done. I have never tried to write poetry.
Rob, Thanks for your long comment. I hope you saw my apology that it disappeared,or was it me that accidentally hit the wrong button? So sorry. I liked it. Hope you're doing well.
® Sonia: No worries. If you've read my notes, that's what matters.
BTW, I've sent you something else about being risky.
