  A fabulous picture of my favorite animal. Did you ever get frightened in the buggy? I've seen the shows, but not sure I would be brave enough. Great capture!

Regards,
Michelle

  Thank you for visiting and your comments, Janine, Manuel, Michelle, Chastity, Ray, Stan, Aimee and Allen. I will be visiting your sites soon as I catch up with my patient load. I had a great time and it was truely and adventure. I did not take and pictures of the polar bear stomachs thank goodness and avoided being their lunch. I will continue to post various ones from the trip as my time allows. Good to be back my BP friends.

  Looks like it was a great adventure. It's hard to believe something so docile looking can be so fierce.
