    This polar bear wasn't put off by the minus twenty windchill at all. After a scratch and a stretch, he went back to sleep. This was taken last month in Churchill, Manitoba. I really hope by now the ice has formed, and the bears can hunt and eat again.

    They sure enjoy it when the snow arrives before Hudson Bay freezes. You really captured the joy here Jane.
