A brown bear sits among lupines on a hillside, looking out over pines and a lake as the sun comes up. It is calm rather than fierce, a picture of a strong creature taking a morning off, which is what most men need on their birthday.
It is made for fathers, husbands, brothers and the friend who keeps saying he will take up fishing. Under the heading his name stands in bold navy letters, large and plain, with no frills to get in the way.
Wishes for him: “Happy birthday. Here is to more mornings like this one, and fewer alarms.” Or: “Strong, steady and the best man I know. Happy birthday, Dad.”
