Blizzard and Bearzard in Orsa

Nov 6th, 2009 | By | Category: Featured articles

6.11.2009 - Photos by Pernilla Thalin, Orsa Polar World

Today is a happy day in our Polar World – it hasn’t just been snowing – we’ve had a real blizzard and after that something we could call a real bearzard! Ewa and Wilbär are in seventh heaven, of course, now that there’s so much snow around.

After the breakfast it was time to explore the new, exciting world. What fun it is to roll around in that white, fluffy stuff! Even the pond was covered with thin ice and snow. Everything looks like a page in a fairy tale book.

What is this? The white stuff feels so soft under my paws … and the water in the pond looks very different today….

Ewa tried to do some ice skating but fell in the water because the ice isn’t thick enough yet. Never mind, she seemed to think ‘I’m a polar bear and love the ice’.

 The icy background makes Ewa look more beautiful than ever!

The bears were having bundles of fun seeking and finding their toys under the snow. Snow also gives a new, thrilling dimension to wrestling don’t you agree?

 Ewa is admiring the Polar World  in winter dress.

 Wilbär looks happy rolling in the snow. Jippiii! It’s winter!!

I wish I could read Wilbär’s mind but my guess is he’s thinking: ‘What lucky bears Ewa and I are here in our winter wonderland’!

    I’m joining Ewa and Wilbär and screaming: Jippiii!!! It’s winter!

    Thank you so much for posting these wonderful photos of two happy bears to us!

  2. Dear Mervi and Pernilla,
    thank you both very much for this lovely weekend greetings from Wilbär and Ewa. It is so very much heartwarming to see both enjoying snow and life. It would have been very nice if Anton&Corinna could see their son in his new home.
    Hugs, caren&bernd

  3. Klasse, die ersten Eisären die ich dieses Jahr im Schnee sehe. Wilbär und Ewa müssen glückliche Tiere sein.

    Danke Permilla, danke Mervi

    Thanks Pernilla and Mervi for the pictures and the story to go with it.

    Bearhugs to you

  5. Dear Pernilla and Mervi –

    If I haven’t pinched myself yet, I would say that Ewa and Wilbaer are living in a fairy tale, yet I know their story to be real. How fun that they get to experience winter for the first time in such lovely surroundings! Always a pleasure to hear news from Orsa Gronklitt, beautiful photos.

    Love,

    Tish

  6. Really a Winter wonderland, all of a sudden!
    Oh, how our Knuti would enjoy living like Wilbär and Ewa!

    Dearest greetings to you, Mervi, and to you, Pernilla and many thanks

  7. Hallo Mervi, hallo Pernilla,

    das sind richtige Gute – Laune – Bilder!!! Die Bären sehen sehr zufrieden und glücklich aus.
    Ein Foto ist schöner als das andere und die Bärenfreude über den Schnee ist richtig ansteckend!

  9. Dear Pernilla and Mervi!

    Oh what fabulous pictures and commentary! And what happy-looking bears! They are so lucky to be in Orsa playing in the snow. And it is also wonderful that they like one another and can enjoy wrestling together. Thank you very, very much for keeping us posted on their life together!

  10. Dear Pernilla and Mervi,

  14. Dear Pernilla,
    Thank you for the beautiful pictures of Ewa and Wilbär, it is really pleasant to see how well they feel and how they enjoy the winter. I am looking forward to your next photos!
    Best wishes,

  15. Dear Pernilla, dear Mervi

    thankyou so much for this wonderful pictures.
    On each picture I can see how lucky the bears
    are. And when the bears are lucky , I’m lucky too

    Bärenstarke Grüße ;-)

  16. Dear Pernilla, Dear Mervi
    Oh yes, these two youngsters must have their time of the year now: rolling in the snow and having ice-skating fun. I am so glad that you wanted to share these pics with us, because they do bring a lot of pleasure and happiness to all those who loved not only Wilbar but also Ewa. And knowing that the favorties had to move to a place far away, is always a bit scary. But when one then gets updated information and pictures on how both are doing fine and having fun, is a treasure and also a balm for the heart. Many thanks again and please continue to bring such news.

  17. oh yes! happy bears make people smile. Thank you Pernilla and Mervi!

  18. Dear Pernilla and dear Mervi,

    yes, I think too that Wilbär is thinking “What lucky bears Ewa and I are here in our winter wonderland!”
    And I think “What lucky Wilbär & Ewa friends we are to have Auntie Pernilla spoiling us with wonderful pictures!”

    Thank you, Pernilla, once more and keep your camera busy *wink* and thank you Mervi for keeping the contact warm and showing the news.

    Grüssles from rainy Stuttgart (no snow so far here where I’m working but maybe the mountains where I’m living will have a white cap this evening)

  19. Lucky bears indeed!!!!!

  20. They are so happy… every polar bear should have the winter like them, snows, ice and a keeper like Pernilla. Willbar and Ewa have a lot of luck.
    Thank you Pernilla and Mervi, for showing happy moments with wonderful pictures.
