Thank you for the wonderful link Margherita.
I don't think that I would like to hug the polar bear either, but it is nice to share the Christmas spirit with him.
The photographer was really brave.
Animals do share a reciprocal trust, and this is wonderful to see. Maybe the photographer was able to share it as well.
I will be gone in a couple of days until the end of January.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a very happy and joy filled new year.
Love, Inda
