Polar Trek
Uploaded: January 07, 2008 07:38:55
Put this together with 5 different images of a single polar bear from the Buffalo 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 AND my imagination!
Thanks for looking.

Lisa- I agree whole heartedly with your sentiments. It is sad to see them caged and so sad that this is the only way we or our children for the most part will ever see God's creation.Barbara Waldoch January 07, 2008
