I’m really not a big fan of “Hallmark” holidays. But since I was working on this image last night, it just felt appropriate for the day. So to all the moms out there, and especially mine, “Happy Mothers Day”.
Picture: Mother and chicks swimming near shore, Kiva Beach, Lake Tahoe, California.
PS. Can anyone ID these birds for me? The beak on the mom make me think of cormorants.
The image is a little small to ID, but feel free to send me a slightly bigger one and I’ll try to find out.
I spent a very cold and rainy Mother’s Day last week with my mom and relatives at Pike’s Peak State Park in Iowa, and on the riverboat casino in Marquette. I’ll take any excuse to have a good time.
