This Sunday is Mother's Day.All mothers work hard. They put their own needs aside as they selflessly help prepare their young to flourish in this world.
They give their little ones life itself, they comfort them, and care for them constantly, tirelessly bringing them food for the stomach as well as for the soul. 
I am definitely remembering my own mom and all she did for me over many years as I watch these sweet families all around us.
This weekend, if you can, tell your mother you love her.

The Happiest of Mothers Days to everyone!

Oh how darling are these moms and babies. I saw a few like that today at the Duck pond we go to. We saw a lone Duck with about a dozzen babies following her in the water. So Cute. You got some great shots. You must have a really good camera as you get such good close ups. A Good eye too:)
Have a wonderful weekend.
I'm amazed to watch the birds who nest outside my mother's kitchen every year: the mother and father fly back and forth over and over, constantly bringing food to their chicks. It looks exhausting, but they never let up.
I also love to see a Canadian goose family cross the road stop four lanes of traffic--I imagine everyone is sitting in their car, just as I am, overcome by the ideal vignette of "family" they represent.

Thank you everyone.
And Carol, trust me, if you were my daughter, I'd feel very proud of you! You're a riot--thank you very much.
You must have had a wonderful mother...look how her work turned out!
That's a lovely photo of the bird coming out of her nesting box. The other mums and babies are so sweet, too. A super post. It's not Mother's Day here but I've loved seeing all the posts on others' blogs. I hope you had a good day. Sadly, my mother died in 1980, so long ago now. I still miss her.
Jeanette, I did have a wonderful mom! thanks. You're very kind.
BT, we've really enjoyed our menagerie here. Thank you! I also lost my mother several years ago and she's very much on my mind all the time, so I can relate to what you said.
The photos and comments are lovely. Thanks.
One of the warmest and loveliest Mother's Day posts I have seen. I greatly enjoyed meeting these moms and youngsters!
I hope you had a fine Mother's Day!
Your art is lovely... and so are these photos! Thank you!
Thank you everyone! Hope you all had a happy Mother's Day!
