Thank you for sharing another wonderful photo, @fblewis ! Were you up close, or did you capture this shot from a distance? We'd love to hear any fun stories from this trip if you'd like to share. Also, let us know if we can feature this in the newsletter!
In November, 2013, I took a tour around the city of Churchill in Manitoba, Canada to view and photograph the polar bears that roam around the Churchill area. This photo was taken inside a vehicle called the Tundra Buggy – see attached photo. The bear was about 15 feet or so in front of the vehicle.
FYI – I have traveled to 39 states and 31 countries and have been to all continents including Antarctica.
Wow, @fblewis, it seems like you have quite an adventurous life!! Taking a trip around the world is also in my bucket list, so you've become my inspiration for traveling. We'd love to hear more of your stories (and see more of your cool photos!), so please feel free to share them with us whenever you get the chance! Thank you so much!
I have some more pictures that I will share over the next few weeks.
The only thing I will say for now is that I have done this traveling despite the fact that I have some disabilities: I walk with a cane, am an insulin dependent diabetic, take 13 pills per day for various health issues and have sleep apnea – need to take my CPAP wherever I go.
Let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
