One Fine Day [Bear Pictures]
Uploaded: January 03, 2008 06:23:55
Just having a little fun today in my digital playground.
Put this together with 3 different images of a polar bear from a zoo,
and an image I captured last winter of a frozen lagoon near my home.
Ya know, I LOVE polar bears, but seeing them enclosed at the zoo always leaves me a little sad.
I imagine that this scene is what a zoo's polar bear sees when he dreams.
Some day, I'd love to travel and see these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat,
but for today, there's Photoshop!
Thanks for looking.
