I know I am late but for me every day is Mother’s day. Heart- warming image.
Not late at all! I appreciate your comment 🙂
I agree, every day is Mother’s and Father’s Day.
I’ll never get tired of seeing baby ducks! I especially love the wake in the water. Another nice shot, Takami! Very fitting for a Mother’s Day post! :))
Who cannot love duckies?? And much kudos to Mama (and Papa) Duck for doing their best to protect their babies. I loved how the sakura petal is stuck on Mama’s ‘cheek’ – parents really are so busy 😀
Very cool and cute.
Thank you my friend. I published a new photo today – more baby ducks 🙂
Awwwww!
Yes, it was a sweet moment 🙂
Very nice, Takami san!
Thank you, Rajiv-san 🙂
What a lovely capture, Takami ❤ The little one looks just like her mommy 🙂
Thank you Helen ❤ I thought the same too 🙂
A perfect photo for Mother’s Day. I don’t know if you celebrate Mother’s Day or not, but I am wishing you a great Mother’s Day! Hugs!
Thank you ❤ Yes, Mother's Day is celebrated in Japan too. I hope you had a lovely day yesterday. I saw the cartoon from your son in your latest post 😀 🙂
Hugs and best wishes,
Takami
I had a good day, and the cartoon made me laugh. 🙂
Really beautiful.
Thank you Mr. Nico. I hope you and Mrs. Nico had a lovely Mother’s Day, and that you will have a blessed week ahead.
Yes it was good, although she had to work a few hours. Your comments are a wonderful blessing, thank you! Peace to you and your family.
Perfect for Mother’s Day 🙂 🙂
Thank you Christy ❤

Thank you for the re-blog. I’m honored 🙂
Well done my friend, and I’ll wager it took very little persuasion to convince the ducks to pose for this fine tribute to Mothers everywhere, on this their special day.
Thank you my friend. This mallard duck family was wonderful. They were completely wild, but it seemed comfortable with people – perhaps they knew that we humans were admiring them? It was during the “sakura” cherry blossom season last month, and the fallen petals in the lake made it very pretty. All decent Mothers and Fathers have my deepest respect – for doing their best to give their kids a good life. Wishing you a blessed week ahead!
And a wonderful week to you and yours.
A wonderful picture, especially since it is Mother’s Day in the US!
Hello Josh,
Thanks for stopping by. I thought the Mama Duck and baby duckling were a perfect shot for Mother’s Day. I hope your research is coming along well 🙂
Thank you!
Aw…I love this!
Thank you Jill! Hope you had a happy Mother’s Day ❤
Takami, your photos, all of them through the time I’ve known, so cutting in detail and subject matter that I now run the risk of repeating my praise. I’ve run out of words. I can offer only an insufficient, thank you. Thank you for sharing these moments, heartfelt and captured by the eye of a great wildlife photographer.
And whether you’re a mother or not, I don’t know but have a splendid Mother’s Day, just the same.
Hello Peter, thank *you* for your generous words! It’s the greatest feeling to know some folks enjoy my photos. I do my best to make the most of each moment, to try and portray ‘nature’ as honestly as possible. All (decent) mothers (and fathers) deserve all the respect for doing their best to raise their kids & give them a better life.
All best,
Takami 🙂
Awwww! So cute. 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day 🙂 ❤
This photo is so perfect in every way, clarity, sharpness, colors, and subject matter. That petal on the mother’s cheek is just sublime!
Hello Mr. Hien,
I’m so glad you noticed the “sakura” petal on the mother’s cheek! For me, that was the ‘charm point’ of this moment. The duckling doing his best to keep up with mum, while mum is also very busy. I was mesmerized by this duck family for hours 🙂
beautiful photo!
Thank you! I am happy you liked it 🙂
So beautiful !!! ❤ 🙂
Hello my dear Takami, i wish you all the best ! ❤ 🙂
Thank you dear friend ❤
I wish you a happy Sunday too 🙂
Thank you, my dear ! 🙂
