Close Encounters of the Bear Kind

At to zoo, I was excited because the giant panda was out. In my early views of him, he was at a distance, being a big tease.

Hubby and I then walked around to the other side of the exhibit, and he decided to come close because he heard how much of a lover of the bear community I was. I apologize for the people reflections in the last two pics. There was a family there with small kids, and they were all up near the bear.
