An astoundingly sensitive and beautifully observed photograph, Kylie. I could almost touch the fur, so wonderful and detailed the shot is. A real gem, first class on all levels. Still have my fingers crossed for Bella. Have a lovely weekend

Praying and hoping things will get better for your Bella. She definitely lives up to her name ("Beautiful") from the photo you posted earlier. And I know her place in your heart is beautiful as well.
BTW, this bear hug photo is outstanding. Zoo trip?

Excellent capture Kylie, but I don't think I would let him hug me. Although the color of his fur is just beautiful and if he was a miniture, well that would be quite different. :o)
