He played a lot of Cold Porter.

He says he's there mostly every day, and recommends the seal.

I know....I wouldn't of believed it either.

Great moment of polar bear life. You have been lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

I hope to one day be able to photograph these pretty animals before they become extinct. How far away were you from it? Males are especially dangerous to get close to.

Thanks folks for the comments. This was a Bronx Zoo image taken this past Tuesday. I was accompanied by our fellow POTN pal MDJAK.

He was well within range of my 70-200, and I never was in danger photographing this ol' guy. Course, there are always dangers present when Mark is nearby.

Here's another image.

Lovely shots, Kevan. But I think he may have been playing more "rock" music than show tunes (LOL).


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.
