Happy Bear

A large polar bear wakes-up from an afternoon nap and scratches is back before beginning his hunt for dinner. I captured this image from a zodiac along the edge of the ice sheet off the coast of Svalbard, Norway.

About Artist

Jim Guerard

Jim Guerard moved to Savannah, Georgia in 2014 when he retired from Adobe Systems, Inc. as Vice President and General Manager of Adobe’s Creative Cloud. Jim began exploring photography in 2007 as entertainment on weekends during long business trips. Jim ventured deeper into photography after retiring and continues to hone his craft on the local area's scenic vistas and through an active travel schedule. When venturing away from Savannah, Jim’s priority is collecting images from around the world, intended to stir awareness and offer glimpses of elements in nature and distant cultures that are rapidly changing, and in some cases at risk of disappearing entirely.
