The Polar Bear Encounter

It was a Memphis Autumn afternoon when I decided to be wild in the city of Blues. Being from the Philippines, this is the biggest zoo I've ever been too yet, both in land area and members of the kingdom animalia on display. It was a pain to walk around but each step was well worth the images I was able to capture.

Among everything I saw I spent the most time taking pictures of, you guessed it, the polar bear. There were two of them in their aquarium/cage/coral. It was a joy to see them swim. A big ball of white fur swimming around the tampered cold water. One of the zoo guests said she could watch it all day. The same was true for me. It was a relaxing sight. A wild animal gracefully swimming in the middle of the city. The experience is great but there is always this indescribable feeling when you see a beautiful animal in an artificial environment. If I was polar bear I would be tired of swimming in the same water. My ADD would be in full swing. It's sad to know that the only way for these animals to survive is to have them in captivity. So let us do anything we can to save these animals. In the end, wild life preservation is self preservation.

Now that I have let my sentiments out, lets see my hot shots.



Don't you feel bad about driving to the convenience store yet when you could have walked.


We should start riding bikes y'all.


Plant a tree. Make up for your carbon footprint.



While you're at it spot the the other polar bear in the photo above-the one holding a camera.

This is my favorite image. I hope this helps to urge you to save the planet. Save the polar bears. Save yourself.
