Or should that read “pose?”
On my short list of public places to enjoy in St. Louis is the zoo. Admission is free. Parking is affordable. The animals appear to enjoy their homes — some act as if they enjoy watching the humans.
The polar bear is a consistent attraction for a crowd. Unless he’s napping, he likes to swim in his pool where humans can watch his perfect technique.
Have you seen the paws! And claws! Makes me glad I’m not any of his prey.
But due to water, glass, other people, and the uncertainty of the light — he’s difficult for this very amateur photographer to capture with a camera.
Artists to the rescue! This polar bear family is photographer friendly. And also seasonal.
In a different season, the characters of Comfort Zone, a sweet romance, spend some quality time at the St. Louis Zoo. Find their story here: https://amzn.to/338z1K1
