You knew, if you've been paying attention, that one of the polar bear photos would make it to the top of the podium this month. The real question was how to pick which one. Or which three and if so, in what order.
There's 12 polar bear photos with 4 stars, all of which made it into the book. Which everyone who has seen it really likes. There were some very nice things said about it at the dark room class, which was nice to hear.
So. Decisions, decisions. I think I'll go have some breakfast and think about it. Here's the choices.
Runner Up
I used this one as the cover for my polar bear book. It's hard to express how big and graceful these bears are. The guide said this one was a good sized bear, probably nearly 5 feet at the shoulder, which means it could lick my face without getting off its front paws. However, I doubt the bear would be that amiable.
November Image of the Month
This bear had sauntered behind the other tundra buggy, and after looking around a moment settled onto this rock. He totally had the attitude of, 'waiter, I'm ready to order now'. A few moments later he settled in for a snooze.
