Thanks everyone (Kelly, Colette, Diane, Charlene, Carolyn, Jessica, and Mike) for the great comments and appreciated kind words. Jessica, you do realize, of course, that he'd be wearing his 'invisabilty' cloak when he's not performing, eh… (he, he, he…) Allan #496438

Have a good day!

The pose works for me. Great capture Allan. #496502

Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004

Thank you so much Colleen and Claudia, for the kind words and great comments. Colleen, he used to have "fluffy" as a room-mate, but he could never figure out which head he was talikng to. It always gave him a trio of headaches, eh… thanx again - Allan #496505

Marie Fields April 22, 2004

Great shot, Allan! (our polar bears are off display for now. It is so sad! One of the 5 yr. old males died for no apparent reason and they are investigating... He was beautiful and I have taken hundreds of photos of him over the past few years. very sad..) #496587

Jill A. Johnson April 22, 2004

Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004

Thank you so much everyone (Donna, Marie, and Jill) for the nice comments and very kind words, which I truly appreciate. Marie, that is so tragic and aslo very, very sad. We don't need to lose any of these magnificent creatures. Than again, guys - Allan #496600

Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004

Thanx Guys (Gary, Patricia, Donna. and Carol) for the very kind words and terrific comments. Actually he's looking a little sad, because he just got an "Owl post" telling him that Dr. Love's TSS is leaving Diagon Alley today and moving to "Rivendale" to perform for the "Councill of Elrond", go figure, eh… - Allan #496976

Gianna Stadelmyer April 22, 2004

Great shot, Allan! I LOVE these bears. They always seem so adorable and have the best expressions no matter what they are doing:-) Unfortunately, I have no access to these gorgeous creatures anywhere near here, so I will have to watch the vicariously through your photos... #496999

Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004

Jan, thank you so much for the great comments and very kind words, which I greatly appreciate. We've three of the bears at our Zoo, and also a couple of Grizzlies. However, the Grizzly path is about a 4 mile walk, so I haven't ventured out there yet, but our Zoo-Mobile (a mono-rail train, that skirts the perimetre of the Zoo) does start operating in May. Hopefully I'll be able get out there at that time. Thanx again - Allan #497034

Susan T. Evans level-classic April 22, 2004

Wonderful shot, Allan. I like the clarity, colour and composition. Well done! #497346

Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004

Thank you so much for the great comments and very kind words Susan and Leanne. Sometimes I feel as though I should apologize for being so verbose, but then I remember, that's really who I am. Thanx again everyone, I'm glad you're enjoying these as much as I am - Allan #497367

Wally Orlowsky April 22, 2004

Great shot and title, Allan. Please do not cut back on the verbiage ... you make me look respectable. #497562

Bonnie C. Lackey level-classic April 22, 2004

LOL! I have been away all day and it being Thursday, I come back with trepidation! I see Phineous Phogg is patiently waiting for me and I'd like to give him a good-bye hug before he leaves with Dr. Love! I do expect postcards filled with X's and O's and prose that might turn a lady's head and give her the idea that traveling is good for the soul! #497638

Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004

Thanx for the great comments and kind words, Wally and Bonnie. Bonnie, Phineous made me take three hours to get the correct shot. I thinks that I'm a 'bear' for punishemnet, but I told him that you would really appreciate this 'bear-felt' gesture of his. He also sends his kindest thoughts and wishes - Allan #497644

Susan T. Parady April 22, 2004

Great shot, Allan, I like the pose and the expression. #497738

Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
