    And we share theirs. The most photographs I have ever taken of a creature in the wild was a starving polar bear in the Canadian high arctic–222 shots from a 10th of a mile with a 400 mm lens. An outtake is the very last photograph in my poetry collection, Athabaskan Fractal: Poems of the Far North, last year from Cirque Press. I’m still aching from the encounter. Thank you for doing him, the iconic, honor.

      Thank you for your kind words dear Karla and for sharing this heart-breaking encounter with us here. Your Athabaskan Fractal collection of poems sounds beautiful and I’ll see if I can buy a copy in Scotland. All good wishes, Xenia ๐Ÿ’œ
