Ahh, precious!
Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Wonderful! It touches my heart when I see how animals take care of their offspring. Some people can take a great example from this…
Hello Simone,
Thank you for our thoughtful comment. Yes, it is as you say. We (all people) can learn from the behaviours of the other creatures in Nature…
Hi dear Takami. Sorry for my long absence. It is very difficult to get back to normal.
What a safe place it is under mother’s wings. Your photographs tell a story, as always ❤
Hello dear Inese,
I am so happy to read your comments. Thank you for kindly visiting my blog. I completely understand when you say “it is very difficult to get back to normal.” We are all facing an unprecedented situation, and it affects us on many levels…
Please don’t ever feel “pressure” to visit. Your bird friends in Japan will always wait patiently – whenever you have the energy and inclination❤️ Please continue to take care!
This is so captivating!
Thank you Maria. Baby ducks seem to know how to reach “home” 🙂

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Hello Takami.
Beautiful photos. Thank you. I wish that you are all right. We are and now we have been under lockdown 4 weeks.
Stay safe and healthy!
Hello Matti-san,
Thank you for your message.
Yes, we are all right. As you know, our government also declared a state of emergency yesterday…it is planned to last until next month.
We hope you and your family stay safe and healthy too!
Hoping the days are treating you kindly until we can all get outdoors again.
Thank you Atreyee!
Very happy you could stop by, and I appreciate your comment as always. Yes, let’s continue to try and stay safe until things settle down 🙂

オシドリは毎年パートナーを変えるそうです。
でもお母さんの「まがたま」のような過眼線が優しいですね。
愛情一杯の子育て、癒される風景です。

こんばんは!ご訪問・コメントありがとうございます。
「おしどり夫婦の真相」をはじめて知ったとき、ちょっとしたショック(?)を受けたことを覚えています(笑)
私からするとどの鳥も素敵に見えますが、こちらのおしどり♀は特に美しく、綺麗に見えました。
Ah, how adorable, Takami. Nature is such a wonderful antidote to the stresses of the moment. Sending you a hug.
Thank you Jolandi, for your kind words and warm hugs 🙂

Thank you Michael.
I agree, just about all “kids” feel (or want to believe) that mama (or papa) is truly Home…
I hope you and your family are doing well.
Best wishes,
Takami
and for yourself and family, as well
She’s a beauty!
