These are (again) compliments of my daughter Katie,
taken while she was on her latest trip up above
the Arctic Circle. The polar bear woke up . . .
|
 |
| had a nice yawn, a stretch, and a scratch . . . |
 |
| and got a whiff of the ice cutter Kate was on (or, more likely, the people on the ship). So it lumbered over— |
 |
| and when it finally realized that this big snack was out of its reach, it sauntered off and went back to sleep. [To see more "P" posts, visit ABC Wednesday.] |
What great photos! He looks like a bear with "personality".
ReplyDeleteI like that second photo. The polar bear just don't care, ^_^ Happy Wednesday!

How totally cool, in many ways!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a trip is that!
ReplyDeleteHow does an ice cutter sneak up on a polar bear without disturbing her sleep? I have heard of silent running but the ship must have been on tiptoes.
ReplyDeleteYou are funny. “Snacks,” like the Gary Larson cartoon: Two polar bears biting into an igloo: "I love these things. Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.”
Things weren’t always so easy. Here she is as a young cub...
Bottom photo: “I’ll pretend I’m walking away, then I’m “pole” vaulting on deck. I mean how hard can it be?”
Now, that's exquisite. I think I'd have to be restrained from dangling off the side to pat it, though ~ my head knows it would possibly eat me, but my heart would want to believe otherwise.
ReplyDeleteyes, a tad scary - glad that PEOPLE were in a safe place!

ReplyDeleteWow! Super photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of Katie. I'm not much of a traveller but I'd love to see the Arctic. Great photos she took.
