...to the photographers who uplifted us by sharing a little beauty & inspiration with us during such trying times, especially this past week with nothing but back to back bad news. It really was a welcome respite from the madness around us.

where a few adults will babysit all the young 'uns of a clan in one protected bunch. That lone Goose pictured might not even be a mama, just have an especially aggressive nature and be expert at fending off predators, so the family trusts their babies will be safe with her. They're often older experienced grannies.

All six of these photos were outstanding and it was another very hard Final in which to make a choice.

Yay Spring!

Instead if shots, I get notice to upgrade. Rather over-the-top to make their new capitalism retroactive.
