We were seeking the warmth of tropical air inside the Conservatory, the heady perfume of the sunken garden, and the comforting scent of damp soil. But then the polar bears drew us in with the sheer exuberance of their icy swimming and the joyous clouds of steamy breath rising into the arctic air.

this photograph is amazing!!! made my jaw drop 🙂
Thanks, Betsy! I had a lot of help from the bear 🙂
Someone else may have captured something like that photo, but I surely haven’t seen it. It is so fantastic on a lot of levels………..literally on the level below the water!! I really like that!!
