kids
and
bears
playful
bubbles
laughter
face to face
through the glass
friendships form
hands pressed to paw
empathy shared
respect is born
imagination
lights the children’s eyes
wonder emerges
our hope for the future
grows with understanding
strengthened with compassion
Playful polar bear at the Toledo Zoo. He carried the ball up to the top of the waterfall and then threw it down. He went splashing down after it and leaped into the pool to catch it again. I must have spent an hour watching him. Many more photos of him at the flickr site.
