The weather conditions couldn’t of been better for Munsey and Boda to enjoy an early afternoon roll in the snow! At times it looked as tho the Kodiak brothers might of had a snowball fight, as Boda’s face appeared to of been splattered with a huge snowball!

The boys were extremely active when I stopped by to visit them, as they wrestled around in the fresh snow and explored the slushy ice pond in the Bear Woods.
These photographs were taken on Monday Dec.11th around 12:30 -1:30 pm. My hands began to get very cold after about 30 minutes of exposure to the elements but the bears seemed comfortable playing around in the 20 degree weather. Munsey’s weight is 680 lbs. and Boda’s weight is now 760 lbs.

It appears that Munsey (standing over Boda) has defiantly learned a few new wrestling moves from watching “Animal Plant”! Munsey was holding his own whenever I’ve observed them wrestling!

If you’d like to learn more about Munsey and Boda, I’ll be happy to talk to you this Saturday from 11:00 am – 5:00 pm. at the Marshfield Mercantile located at 355 S. Central Ave., Marshfield, WI.

I’ve created dance themed artwork to honor my families love of dance! My father is a graduate from Arthur Murray School for Ballroom Dance in Chicago. So my parents were avid Ballroom Dancers. My daughter Katherine is a former student of Main Street Conservatory of Dance. She is also a former Dance Choreographer for the Wisconsin State 4-H Showcase Singers. So the art of dancing has always been in my blood!



These items can be purchased at the Marshfield Mercantile located at 355 S. Central Ave. Marshfield, WI. on Saturday Dec.16 from 11:00 am- 5:00 pm.


I began documenting the Kodiak bear cubs through photography in October of 2015 at the Grand Opening of the JP Adler Kodiak Bear Exhibit. Since October 2015, I’ve taken thousands of photographs and have begun charting the growth and development of the bears using a graphing format. This information along with the photographs is used when I’m writing my blog and books and is also shared with the zoo staff at Wildwood Zoo.
