Field Notes

Description:

Seen at the Bronx Zoo in NY. I'm not a fan of posting captive wildlife, but I figured a polar bear would be okay since its endangered and I love the photos.

Lovely portrait! I'm with you on the zoo photos but when they provide an opportunity to get a close up like this of an endangered species I think they are fine!
