Polar Reflections
WILD & FREE
We were very lucky with our bear sightings at Spitsbergen in the Scandinavian Arctic which allowed us to get some nice close-up shots. These cubs were around 7 months old, and loved to copy mum!

i so feel for the polar bear
and the downfall of them
i wonder if people will take more apprecation to these animals now
love this image
i and perez of Lifeline
have a challenge called Identity with one’s Affinity
Basically its challenge that involves you conveying what animal in the animal kingdom you can truly relate to
And it would help if you could describe how the animal is a reflection of you, with your piece

must have been amazing to see them like this… they would be graet in The Beauty of Nature :D
