"I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes." - Travis Tritt

I know that look. I sit out on my back porch on days like this with my face up to the sun to remind myself how much I love that light and warmth on my face. For this guy, today in Cincinnati is prefect - high 40's and sunny. I didn't see the Polar Bear swim, but he must have as he was still wet while I was watching him. That big guy and I are having a really good day.

He looks like pure self indulgence

Love your photos and your commentaries. And sure do know that feeling that spring better come soon! One day I'm shooting a young spring flower, next morning it's heavy frost. This polar bear just made me grin. Good for a cold day! Glad I found your page.
