As you can see folks the parent never took her eyes of the sibling, and here you can tell that the young one is just starting to get a little color on the side of the body and the back, I found this quite astonishing, anyway thank you for stopping by and have a great day everyone.
These new parents look tuckered out, no doubt with 22 babes!! Guess where the chicks all are in this picture?!

Took my parents to see the "Sensorio, Field of Light" in Paso Robles last night. Fiber optic threads sprouting to endpoints via octopus tentacles connected to buried bulbs - 58,000 of them planted in rolling hills amongst craggy oaks. Scrambled to get there before evening light disappeared, and barely made it. Definitely not part of the Central Coast thing growing up! Really unique experience. iPhone snaps - we'll see how the camera shots turn out later (though they ban tripods, so that was a separate challenge).
I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. "Some" of my photographs may contain AI generated elements, such as backgrounds.
If in doubt which is my work and which is Generative AI, just look for the watermark on my photography.
While out at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, all the babies had been born. That includes the prairie dog...pups were everywhere with their parents. This was a bonding moment!
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
― William Blake
While driving the Teller Highway, about 60 miles north of Nome Alaska, I spotted a red fox standing on the hillside looking over the vast valley below. My first thought was that it was anxiously awaiting the return of a parent or spouse from that night’s hunt.
As quickly and quietly as possible I exited my vehicle and captured this safety shot. There was a slight haze and a million flying insects between us at this distance, causing an inability to obtain perfect focus. At this point however, my heart was full of both the blessing of seeing it and the fear that it would dive into its den below and disappear from me forever. I decided that I would attempt to close the 150-175 yards between us, taking shots every 25 yards or so as long as it would allow.
One aspect of wildlife photography that I have a love/hate relationship with is the lack of control. When it is all said and done…you get what they decide to give you.
To be continued…
31 years ago today my mom died. This was her last picture. My youngest son was just 6 weeks old, and my parents were going to Florida for the winter. I was going to miss them. They would be back by April to file their income taxes. Home shopping club had been advertising this new telephone device, that you plugged your phone into it, and if someone had the same device, you could see them while you were talking to them! Futuristic for sure! We didn’t buy them. My mom died the next day, after they arrived in Florida to their house trailer from a heart attack. She was 70 years old. That was a Sunday morning August 8, 1991. I was just remembering our conversations of how I was going to miss her and how I wished we had those devices to see each other while we talked. 31 years later, I just finished talking to my older son and daughter in law from my Ipad with FaceTime. We FaceTime all the time without thinking about it. 31 years ago it was a dream. I never had another phone call from my mom after she left, and she didn’t come back in April. My Dad came back two days later. I saw my mom at her funeral. She has been with the Lord these past 31 years. My dad joined her on October 31, 1999. Time sure does fly by and things change so much in this world. The Good news is The Lord never changes! His Word doesn’t change either. Some people think it should change to accept today’s changes. I have peace that it doesn’t change. The Bible says, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8❤️

Back at the Hunter Wetlands, a great day with Archie McCafferty!
I took many photos of these Moorhens with their babies but not many came out ok, I think it had something to do with the time of day and reflection off the water.. that's my excuse anyway ;-)
This young Barn Swallow had landed on this bolted sticking out the side of this food bridge and the parent went down to encourage to fly. I was less than 5 feet from them, so I took a quick couple shots and backed off and watched until I saw them fly up out of the area. Thinking teaching a kid to walk is hard, try to teach it to fly!

The little one was prancing all over the place - disappearing in the bushes and back out, while Mama chittered at him in a way that left no doubt he was worrying her! Once he came near enough, she put a foot on him, all the while scolding - it was such a fun thing to watch! We get such wonderful entertainment in our park, and it's free! :)
