Buddy Bears at Tierpark Berlin

Today at Tierpark, Europe’s biggest animal park, we stumbled across a beautiful exhibit.

It reminded me that all of humanity can work together through our differences. To embrace and celebrate those differences. And that we must work as one, especially through a pandemic.

The boys took notice, but were more interested in visiting the Red Pandas and the playground.

Dave took them, Isaac with his scooter and Ben on his roller blades, while I spent some time wandering. I just knew that I wanted to share this experience on my blog.

So I carefully choose some of my favorite bears, either because I had traveled to that country, I liked the artwork or both, and started taking photos.

I always snapped a photo of the bears from either end of each line as I loved how they were lined up together in unity in their neat little rows.

Please comment with which are your favorite bears and why. I’m curious to know what you think about this exhibit.
