Chillin' on Ice

One of the coolest things I have ever seen were the polar bears playing together at the zoo earlier in the year. It was so incredible to see creatures of this size and strength wrestling around like brothers do. Every time I've been to the zoo since, they've been away, so I was happy to see one of them this week. But he wasn't very active this time. Pretty chill actually.

I kinda feel this way today. I had one of the worst nights I've had for sleep in awhile (luckily it has been much better lately and major sleep issues have become uncommon). I have at least one kid staying home sick from school. We are going to take it slow and low...And want to know something weird. I just want to get in there and snuggle with the polar bear. I refrained, but doesn't it look so cuddly and sweet here:)?

Happy Friday! Hope that you get some chill time this weekend!! I know I sure need it!

Here was the shot from earlier in the year when they were playing: http://365project.org/amandal/365-year-2/2013-05-17

And one more with one of my better titles of the year: http://365project.org/amandal/themes-challeng/2013-05-17
I know exactly how he feels! Great shot Amanda and have a lovely weekend.

Lovely capture, have great weekend

What a great image! I have to say that while your other photos of the polar bears are great captures, this one holds resonance for me, perhaps for the very reason you say. I'm also sleep deprived (about four hours last night) with frequent sleep difficulty, and this polar bear absolutely looks snuggle-worthy!

@jyokota Just to curl up right there on the side, huh? Thanks so much, my friend. Praying for good sleep for us this weekend!! So needed. Maybe some naps, too:).

Fabulous just fabulous.... I head to the zoo tomorrow but sadly it hasn't had Polar bears in a long time. Guess I'll just have to settle on the pandas...

November 8th, 2013  
Wonderful POV,Merlin likes to sleep with his legs in that position!!
November 8th, 2013  
Awwwwww how cute!! I need to see one of those sometimes. We don't have then here , not even on Zoos..they would die with this heat. Love it!
November 8th, 2013  
Nice fat butt. What a cutie :)
November 8th, 2013  
@adamj Sheesh, glad this wasn't a selfie!! I love him! Thanks:)!
November 8th, 2013  
@amandal hahaha. I was thinking as I was typing...how often do I get to comment about someone's big ass? hahaha
November 8th, 2013  
@adamj How many times do you have to bite your tongue? So funny. Happy Friday, Adam. Thanks for all your comments, my friend!
November 8th, 2013  
Awww this is so lovely xx
November 8th, 2013  
A really different, and fun POV. This bear has a personality that comes across in the photo.
November 9th, 2013  
I saw this and didn't have time to comment; wanted to come back to it. What an amazing capture -- he looks totally cuddly and sweet, and the photo is so well composed.
November 9th, 2013  
Oh...look at those feet!!! What a fabulous capture! So glad you got to see him. He does look lonely.though. Love this Amanda!
November 9th, 2013  
@eyesmile Who gets to see polar bear feet and live to tell about it? I wonder if he's been declawed? So lonely. I wanted to play...
November 9th, 2013  
This is such a cute shot. He does look very cuddly. Hope you get better sleep this weekend.
November 9th, 2013  
Such cute feet! An Adorable shot!
November 9th, 2013  
Ahh how sweet, look at those feet.
November 9th, 2013  
this is such a cute pov... really a sweet shot :)
November 9th, 2013  
What a great shot, Amanda. Love the detail you captured. FAV
November 9th, 2013  
so sweet!
November 10th, 2013  
nice

@darsphotos Thanks so much, sweet friend. I loved this shot of the big cuddly bear. His feet are amazing to me.

@adamj Thanks for not making the fat butt comment with my red shot today;-)!! I wasn't as active this week and did eat lots of cookies. Back on the wagon soon, though...

@twr @colie @northy @hamble @amrita21 @bristolrose @taffy @rvwalker @psychographer @deniseescovino @carolmw @mzzhope @stimuloog @roseolivia @homeschoolmom @simon0128 @wind_of_the_sothern_sea @paulaw

Please bear with me as I give you all a big shout out of thanks for liking my cuddly polar bear shot. I really appreciate all of you taking the time to comment. Hope that your weekends are going wonderfully!
November 10th, 2013  
He does look irresistible....I don't blame you. Any bear should be a snugly bear, but your other shots show some sharp teeth and claws so please continue to resist the urge :-) I love the pads on his feet and the pov. great that you have captured variations in poses!
November 11th, 2013  
@moreyoulessme I want to touch the feet pads. ADORABLE. Wouldn't a baby polar bear make a fabulous pet?! Thanks, Jerri. You are fun!
November 11th, 2013  
What a life! But then to think this poor animal is confined and can't roam freely is sad even though it is provided 3 hots and a cot.
November 13th, 2013  
Jo
What a fabulous shot, just love his little bear feet!
November 13th, 2013  
@jo13 I loved his little bear butt. Yes, the feet made me smile. I wanted to touch the pads. Aren't they amazing?!

@skipt07 Oh Skip, it was so fun to see them when there were two together playing. That looked like a fun life. This one missed his friend, I think. Thanks for the comments, sir!
November 13th, 2013  
@amandal - "Sir"? When I was in basic training and we made the mistake of calling our drill sergeant, "sir" they would reply, "Sir? don't call me sir I work for a living!"
