It's time for more baby pictures.

There were dozens of chicks that kept us entertained all morning-especially these two. A wildlife biologist who was there to check on the birds (and the photographers), said the chick on the left was about 7 days old and the chick on the right was about 5 days old (give or take one day)-they were siblings. Whatever the older chick did, the younger one mimicked-as you can see here. They were inseparable and a riot. The younger chick fell over a lot-still learning to walk. Tons of fun on the beach this day.

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

 

For there is not a word on my tongue,

But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

You have hedged me behind and before,

And laid Your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain it.

Psalm 139: 4-6
