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
