Polar Bear sleeping

This year the cold arrived late in the polar bear country, some say it is the beginning of

global warming but who knows for sure. fact is that there is a reason, but if this was the

reason this year - I'm not sure.

Anyway, we had a lot of sleepy bears this year, waiting for the ice to come close to shore.

The hardest part photographing the bears is NOT to go to cuddle them. They are soooo cute

BUT they are also wild animals and probably would not think about twice coming after you for

a little snack. Especially end of October they are very hungry....
