Don't Forget Me
This little bear was sitting on the old stone wall surrounding Whitby Abbey, in Whitby, England. He had been there for some time… looking as if he’s weathered a few rainstorms. We spotted him as we were getting ready to leave and take the train back to York, and of course, I fell in love immediately! I took him down, brushed him off, and told my husband I wanted to take him with us! And then, very kindly – my hubby wondered outloud what would happen if perhaps the child who had left him behind came back to find him, and couldn’t? How sad that would be.
Of course, I couldn’t possibly take him then. He was waiting for someone else to return… not me. :) So I carefully put him back where I had found him, and snapped this picture to take as a memory instead. I do so hope his owner came back for him.

Thank you Mark! That was such a perfect day, in a perfect town. Ahhh, to be there again!

Aw, he looks sweet! Someone will miss him and will come back for sure!
Nice warm colours.
Foxfires replied
Thank you Arie! I like to think there was a grand reunion at some point, between bear, and wee owner!

Good call. But what probably happened is a cat dragged him off and tore the little guy to shreds. But you did the right thing. You immortalized him by taking his very last picture before his death.
I am SO sorry if I`ve now made it impossible for you to sleep, but I think he probably forgives you as your heart was in the right place. Even though his no longer is.

ROFLLLLLL
Oh…. my. Come to think of it, I should look online for reports of a new Whitby Abbey ghost… four inches tall, sporting a macabre plaid bow ‘round his neck?
billyboy
... don`t know if he`s actually got a neck any more… but nice thought.

LOL!! The Headless Teddy
And somewhere, a cat prowls for more cuteness to massacre!
