Knut and Snow

5.2.2023 by Mervi

Our Knuti bear was cute all seasons but I think he was especially cute lying or playing in the snow. Luckily he had chances to enjoy the white stuff many times.

MarionK took this photo when Knut experienced snow for the first time.

Knut loved to have dark fur ….

… but after some rolling in the snow he was snow white!

A Christmas tree was a popular toy …

… and, of course, even ball games were on the schedule.

Oh bear, it was so wonderful and exciting!

Sometimes Knut just wanted to relax on the white stuff.

Naturally I just had to make some Winter collages.

Here’s the trojka – Knut, Flocke and Raspi

In this collage I let Knut visit a magic ice castle.

  1. Dear Mervi,

    Knut in the snow is also one of my favorite photos of him and the top one of Marion is at the top of my ranking! The photos of Frans were also of great expressiveness in all seasons. It’s a pity that you don’t hear from him or her (?) for a long time.

    I enjoy now further the beautiful views and say here also to all photographers and Fotorafinnen and collage designers many thanks!

  2. Dear Mervi!
    These are pictures that still touch my heart.

    Knut was a very special bear because of the story of his birth and the way he was raised by a sympathetic keeper. He evoked feelings in many visitors that they had never felt for any other zoo animal before. ” Child Scheme” or not, the visitors’ sympathy and affection for this bear remained even after he was no longer a cute cub. Many people were happy when Knut appeared to be doing well and sad when he appeared to be suffering.

    These winter pictures with snow and ice show him in his element and everyone who experienced him in winter from a young age was happy for him when it got cold and there was snow and ice. Many persevered for hours at the enclosure in sub-zero temperatures to see such pictures and scenes and capture them on camera.
    These pictures evoke memories and with them the whole range of feelings that make Knut so unforgettable.
    Thank you!

    Hugs

  3. There is just one fitting word for any of those pics:

    But the one when KNUTi experienced snow for the first time (by MONIKA) and especially the last (by FRANS) in this publication touch my heart . . .

    Thanks, dear MERVI for showing and sharing these precious photographs and collages.

  4. Dear Mervi,
    All the photo’s are beautiful but, like Dumba, I find the one of Knuti experiencing snow for the first time very moving.
    Thank you Monika for such a special photo.

  5. Dear Mervi

    The pictures of Knut in the snow are adorable. Especially the one where he holds his nose high in his brown fur coat and marvels at the falling snow.

    Thank you for the heartwarming memories.

    Hugs,
    Anita
