Can’t say with certainty that it’s mom he/she is playing with but it’s highly likely! 😉

From a while ago. I may have posted this one before on Mothers Day.

Lovely shot Rob, they’re well camouflaged.

Where’d my pic go?
-
It never appeared. Graham, would you please repost it?
-
Thanks Horatio. Wierd, it was there when I hit the ‘submit’ button. Anyway, here it is…

Thank you Graham. LOL!!! I love the baby looking at you. How big are they as adults? I appreciate you resubmitting the image. It is a fun one.

Some are enormous Horatio. I once walked past one in dense bush which I didn’t see until the last minute. He was sitting on his haunches and was taller than me – I’m 5′ 8″. He didn’t bat an eyelid, just watched me pass on a wide berth. I was totally freaked out waiting for an attack because they can cause some serious damage if they want to. Probably the biggest one I’ve ever seen. The larger one in the pic above is about half that size.

Allows Edits? YesBeautiful moment caught here Kent. Love it 🙂
-
Kent, I thought I had replied here. This is an absolutely wonderful image, with lots of excitement and love, all captured in one frame. You have framed the new mother perfectly, with the surrounding family and your lighting is terrific. Congratulations on the new great-nephew.

Mama with her eggs
Mama with her babies
She was in a cupboard and the light was really bad, so the images are very noisy!

Allows Edits? YesThat’s really quite interesting. I used to have a large barn spider living in the door way arch of my old shop, that I watched go through much the same process.
-
-
*screammmmmmmssssss* Spiders!!!!! I admire you for permitting her to live and hatch her eggs in your cupboard. If she was in my house, she and her eggs would have been relocated outside. That being said, I just love your images.

Oops, I’ve just realised that the adult woodpecker is not a Mama, it’s a daddy!

Sea Otter mother and baby.

Thank you so much Robert. The sea otters are so much fun. By the way, Yellowstone National Park spotted the first baby bison of the season.

These were taken quite a while ago. The poor Great Horned Owl mother looks exhausted, and there is definitely no room in the nest for her. The father was almost impossible to photograph as he was much higher up in the tree and hidden even more than the mother.

In this photograph, I left a large part of the nest to show just how big this nest was.

Allows Edits? YesGreat examples Horatio. I don’t have a single decent great horned owl photo, though I see them all the time.
-
Thank you Robert. Fortunately for me, this was an osprey nest, that the great horned owls decided was going to be their new temporary home. It was in my front yard. I was the only person that could get anywhere near the nest. When the mother was sitting there, I would go down in the morning with a cup of coffee and just talk to her. After the babies were born, either her or the father would make these daring attacks on any people getting any where near the tree housing the nest. They tolerated me. I have some more pictures as the babies started to leave the nest, and attempt to walk up and down the branch. These babies grew so fast that I could not believe my eyes. One of the parents, has about a six foot wingspan and is about four feet tall. And you almost can never hear them in flight. I hope you get a couple good images of the great horned owl. They are pretty incredible to watch.

Allows Edits? NoAaah… look at those eyes … someone doesn’t want their picture taken ???? … great capture Horatio
-
Frogdaily, thank you so much. These little babies are so cute and look so soft to touch. I really enjoyed watching them develop from these little creatures that could barely see above the nest, to these huge owls that had long talons. The evening they took their first flight, it was incredible. Of course, I did not have my camera in hand. But, it was spectacular.

This is a variation on the Mama’s theme. They are two different type aircraft, but they look quite similar. They are actually quite close together, just quite a big difference in size.

Allows Edits? YesI’ve come down with a serious dose of Karaokeitus, and you’re not helping. We are staying on family campsites around Europe. For some unknown reason, every time I hear the word ‘Mamma’ – which is about ten times a day – I’m immediately launching into Bohemian Rhapsody… all the way through… from start to finish… every time. That is 6 minutes of my life I’m not getting back. Every time. And here, just for you, to share the pain….

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Chris, you have now totally shook my day, and quite possibly my week. I listened to your link a while ago, and now I can not get that song out of my mind. My mind keeps replaying and replaying your song. Then, I hop into the car, and what song comes on the radio? This exact song. Aaaaarrrgggghhhhh!!! I am doomed. LOL!!! Of course, this was a good replacement to the song that was stuck there previously… a song from Winnie the Pooh. So, things are looking up.

We turned our swimming pool into a wildlife spa. The jacuzzi is now a frog nursery. This is a leopard frog mother, with her baby on her back. We counted eight or nine pairs of mothers and babies.
And Chris… do not even think about how you might dine on frog legs. Hah, hah, hah.

What perfect timing you have, Elin. Poor baby. I wonder what actions brought about the mother’s need for discipline. It really must be viewed large. You have captured motion in the mane of the mother and foal, plus it accentuates the foal moving his/her head away from the mother. Additionally, I love how you can see her teeth and the large number of dapples on the mother. I love this image.

Allows Edits? YesThank you Horatio. The photo is taken at a horse farm that I drive through when I visit a bird sanctuary in Southern Iceland. Earlier this summer I stopped to watch a small flock of mares with foals and this one caught my attention because of her exceptionally strong and good movements. Since then I have stopped to watch her every time I drive through. She is very lively, guess she was trying her limits with her mother at this moment.

Elin, this is wonderful. Thank you so very much for expanding on the story. It is so very interesting to see just how different the personalities of the animals are. What I really loved about your image, was the way the little foal was trying to move out of her mother’s reach. This image really makes me smile.
I am looking forward to the follow-up photographs.

“Yes, I know, they are cute, thank you! *chuckle*” Sheep Moms can be smug too.

Allows Edits? YesAhh yes, speed bumps. We have White Tail Deer, Mule Deer, Pronghorn Antelope, Wild Turkeys, and some times mountain lions that live in the Town of Buffalo, to the extent they are considered pests. I hit the brakes for deer running out in the road at least once a day, maybe I should photograph them instead of cursing them.
Good Photo though Kent.
