My childhood in a nutshell. Add in my mom cooked a hot breakfast everyday and supper every night. We were expected to eat what she cooked. We said yes ma’am and no ma’am as well as thank you and please. We played with lizards, bugs and snakes. We had the good sense to listen when mom taught us what a poisonous snake looked like and we avoided them. We played in the rain. And we behaved especially in public. It a wonder how we made it in such a harsh and confining childhood.
I love seeing a child outside getting dirty and having fun! And you have done a beautiful job of capturing this adorable child.
We need to hear about more of the good.
It may restore my faith in humanity.
Why didn’t he invite you? 😊
You are right about the affection in a beaver family. The kits are never left by themselves. Older sister will sit if mom leaves the lodge. They are constantly touching the kits. When I rehab an orphan kit I have to carry it around in a baby pack on my chest. You were very lucky to see this in the wild. Beautiful captures.
Very nice. I make greeting cards and this is the type of picture that would work well.
At this age they are called branchers. Ideally they move from the nest to the surrounding branchs as they learn to use their wings. If they end up on the ground, they are able to, using beak and feet, climb back up the trunk.
I like this. Don’t change a thing.
Oh that’s good! Just sent this to my sister and brother in law in Florida. He has been complaining bitterly about the “frigid” weather
there 😂
Sounds like the quality of people hired has gone down.
