Oh say it ain't so! I can't "bear" to see him go! :) This is a cute shot Allan - love the pose you captured - great color too - and the framing. Thanks for another morning chuckle! Have a good one -K #120076Colette M. Metcalf April 22, 2004

I don't know about Bonnie, but the pose is fine with me! #496389Jessica Hughes April 22, 2004
I don't know that Diagon Alley would be such a great place for this bear! :)Michael Wehrman April 22, 2004
Great catch Allan #496419Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thanks everyone (Kelly, Colette, Diane, Charlene, Carolyn, Jessica, and Mike) for the great comments and appreciated kind words. Jessica, you do realize, of course, that he'd be wearing his 'invisabilty' cloak when he's not performing, eh… (he, he, he…) Allan #496438Doug Benner April 22, 2004
Great shot Allan. #496454Jessica Hughes April 22, 2004
Allan, the invisibility cloak is a good thing. Will he be living in the Shrieking Shack as well? :)Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thanx guys (Doug, Jessica, and from other pages, Kristen and Paul) for all the great comments and very kind words. Jessica, he seems to prefer "the whompin' willow", go figure, eh… I appreciate this from everyone. Thanx again - Allan #496460Colleen Braun April 22, 2004
I think he lives with the 3 headed dog on the third floor at Hogwarts.... #496473Claudia Kuhn April 22, 2004
He seems to be trying to please you and your camera! Great pose and image Allan. #496475Darren K. Fisher April 22, 2004
The pose works for me. Great capture Allan. #496502Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thank you so much Colleen and Claudia, for the kind words and great comments. Colleen, he used to have "fluffy" as a room-mate, but he could never figure out which head he was talikng to. It always gave him a trio of headaches, eh… thanx again - Allan #496505Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thanx Darren, I must've missed you in cyberspace. I appreciate the comments and kind words - Allan #496516Donna W. Neal April 22, 2004
Very nicely captured Allan. Love how he looks like his is hiding something from you. with his front paw. Wonderful composition and DoF on this photo. #496541Marie Fields April 22, 2004
Great shot, Allan! (our polar bears are off display for now. It is so sad! One of the 5 yr. old males died for no apparent reason and they are investigating... He was beautiful and I have taken hundreds of photos of him over the past few years. very sad..) #496587Jill A. Johnson April 22, 2004
excellent shot!!! great tone clarity and texture... and not to mention such a cute subject :) #496591Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thank you so much everyone (Donna, Marie, and Jill) for the nice comments and very kind words, which I truly appreciate. Marie, that is so tragic and aslo very, very sad. We don't need to lose any of these magnificent creatures. Than again, guys - Allan #496600Theresa McCloskey April 22, 2004
nice one Allan :-) #496605Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thank you very much, Theresa - Allan #496606Robin L. Wehrman April 22, 2004
This is an excellent shot, like the look on this face, well done Allan!!! #496628Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thank you very much, Robin, for the very nice comments and very kind words. I really appreciate them an awful lot - Allan #496658Gary O`Dell April 22, 2004
Like how you have captured his expression Allan, and a very nice composition..Gary O #496696Patricia Marroquin April 22, 2004
Soooooo sweet, Allan! Love his look! :-) #496754Donna J. Taff April 22, 2004
Great shot and he is posing just right!!!! #496884Carol Engstrom April 22, 2004
Great shot, Allan. #496953Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thanx Guys (Gary, Patricia, Donna. and Carol) for the very kind words and terrific comments. Actually he's looking a little sad, because he just got an "Owl post" telling him that Dr. Love's TSS is leaving Diagon Alley today and moving to "Rivendale" to perform for the "Councill of Elrond", go figure, eh… - Allan #496976Gianna Stadelmyer April 22, 2004
Great shot, Allan! I LOVE these bears. They always seem so adorable and have the best expressions no matter what they are doing:-) Unfortunately, I have no access to these gorgeous creatures anywhere near here, so I will have to watch the vicariously through your photos... #496999Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Jan, thank you so much for the great comments and very kind words, which I greatly appreciate. We've three of the bears at our Zoo, and also a couple of Grizzlies. However, the Grizzly path is about a 4 mile walk, so I haven't ventured out there yet, but our Zoo-Mobile (a mono-rail train, that skirts the perimetre of the Zoo) does start operating in May. Hopefully I'll be able get out there at that time. Thanx again - Allan #497034Susan T. Evans April 22, 2004
Great shot Allan, love the pose!!! love the details! #497344Leanne M.E. Boyd April 22, 2004
Wonderful shot, Allan. I like the clarity, colour and composition. Well done! #497346Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thank you so much for the great comments and very kind words Susan and Leanne. Sometimes I feel as though I should apologize for being so verbose, but then I remember, that's really who I am. Thanx again everyone, I'm glad you're enjoying these as much as I am - Allan #497367Wally Orlowsky April 22, 2004
Great shot and title, Allan. Please do not cut back on the verbiage ... you make me look respectable. #497562Bonnie C. Lackey April 22, 2004
LOL! I have been away all day and it being Thursday, I come back with trepidation! I see Phineous Phogg is patiently waiting for me and I'd like to give him a good-bye hug before he leaves with Dr. Love! I do expect postcards filled with X's and O's and prose that might turn a lady's head and give her the idea that traveling is good for the soul! #497638Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
Thanx for the great comments and kind words, Wally and Bonnie. Bonnie, Phineous made me take three hours to get the correct shot. I thinks that I'm a 'bear' for punishemnet, but I told him that you would really appreciate this 'bear-felt' gesture of his. He also sends his kindest thoughts and wishes - Allan #497644Susan T. Parady April 22, 2004
Great shot, Allan, I like the pose and the expression. #497738Allan L. Whitehead April 22, 2004
