Looking for Ice

A polar bear stops on a cloudy day in Churchill, Manitoba. As the bears waited for the water in Hudson Bay to freeze, I had to wonder what was going through this bear's mind as his look gazed off towards the bay. The water was at least two weeks late from is average freeze up. He had to be getting hungry.
