Valentine's Day

Love is in the air! Many species of penguins will try to mate for life. When they come back to land after months at sea, they reaffirm their conjugal vows by bowing heads together. It almost seem like a sign of respect. During the ensuing months the couple shares nearly equal responsibility in building the nest and caring for the young, a behavior rarely seen in many other animals. No matter what the weather holds, they stand together in solidarity.

I am so grateful to have a partner in life who share these same values. Happy Valentine's Day!
