Cute Baby Bear Videos for Wild Wednesday

Happy wild Wednesday! I had the great blessing of seeing these adorable Andean bear cubs (also called "bespectacled bears") in their habitat at the Smithsonian's National Zoo this weekend. This is the third set of cubs I've enjoyed watching but the most exciting because they're the youngest and smallest that I've seen yet. I have three videos to share today. I put the top one first because it had the nicest thumbnail but my favorite is the second one where the little bear climbs up and down a tree. The third one is worth watching because I zoomed out so you could see how high up the little guys climbed. Their cuteness warmed my heart and I hope they make you smile.

These cute little animals are still fuzzy. They're a little wobbly but already great climbers.

The rumor is that the baby bears, health and weather permitting, will be out most mornings from ten to eleven am and longer as they grow stronger and more resilient (and possibly longer on warmer days too). Apparently these two brother bears love to climb so if you visit I hope you get to see them climb in person.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless these little bears and may He bless you too!

Cute Chipmunk on Bird Ball

Happy Wild Wednesday! I wasn't sure I'd have anything to share this week as I've had migraines but I thought/prayed that if something fell in my lap I'd share it. To my surprised I then looked out the window and this cute chipmunk was just begging to be photographed. He's been too fast for me even on days that I was feeling better so the fact that he just sat on top of the bird feeder ball for these photos definitely feels like a hug from the Lord.

If you compare this photo with the previous one you can see that his eyes got bigger. This little cute animal was watching me intently as I took photos.

Here's an overview of the adorable chipmunk atop the bird feeder ball. I've seen him hanging upside down and grabbing the seeds but he usually runs off when I get the camera (yet another reason to feel blessed by his cooperation today).

Here's a macro / extreme zoom photo of his cute little face. I'm thankful for the opportunity to photograph his cuteness and the Lord's blessing despite my headaches.

Thank you for visiting! Which photo did you like best? May God bless and keep you!

Happy November and harvest time! My dear husband took me to the National Zoo so I could see the cute animals enjoying their pumpkin enrichment time. I thought the dwarf mongoose was especially adorable in her pumpkin house.

 Three of these cute critters took turns jumping in and out of the pumpkin.

 But this one stayed the longest.

 She could watch her peers running around the rest of the habitat from her window.

See her tiny little feet? She jumped out right after this shot. I thank you for visiting and hope these photos made you smile. May God bless you in this new month and always!

Edit/note added 11/5/14: I am prayerfully going to take an estimated two-month break from the blog, but, God willing, will be back with brief holiday messages and regular posts in the New Year. If there's something you'd like to see or read more about for 2015, please comment below or email me at lovejoypeas@gmail.com. May God bless and keep you!

This adorable baby black howler monkey was born March 22, 2012 and is on view for the public at the National Zoo.

 The baby monkey's tail is already surprisingly strong, enabling it to hang upside down.

While the baby monkey would wander away from its mother for short periods, most of the time it liked to be close to her.

It was a blessing to see these beautiful black howler monkey family moments. Hope you enjoyed our Wild Wednesday feature of the wee. Thanks to my wonderful husband for sharing his photos.
