A baby Polar Bear! He's really playful and growing up fast.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I wouldn't want to be the one going after that ball even if he were just playing. Nice work on the exposure. thumb.gif

    He's looking at you! Good catch.

    Saw the little pup on the news and in the Tribune. He'll be cute for only a little while longer.

    It makes it even worst on a partially cloudy day when it goes from direct sunlight to cloudy in an instand and there is a tarp partialy hanging over the enclosure. You have to go from +1 EC to -1 EC in an instant. I've got a membership so I can get you in for free, just give me a call. How'd the rookery go this morning?

    He's growing like a weed. As David mentioned, he won't be this small for much longer.

    They have a little display in front of the enclosure with broken and mauled balls that they have already gone through. He's fun to watch playing because he still has some work to do on his balance.

    Yeah, I saw those also. He's only been on public display for a week or two. You should go see him before he's not so little anymore. It'll be a good workout for that new lens of yours.

    Well I was dressed up like a pork chop, so I think that may be why he was looking at me. Thanks William.
