When our children are young, our instinct is to look over their
shoulders and make sure they're not biting off more than they can chew.
It's perfectly natural for that little adventurer to keep mom on her
toes... 
Generally every waking moment is filled with exploration
wading in waters that are a little too deep
setting off on roads that are a little to steep
and attempting to step beyond the boundaries of acceptable behavior...
But there are those rare moments when we find blissful rest...
and snake our faces toward the sun
That little tiger cub is so precious..and you can see the concern and caring written all over the mother.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't take that picture fast enough! It's my favorite.
DeleteLOL - so very true! The rest is all the sweeter after running around after little ones...
ReplyDeleteAwe - This made me smile. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think about how well this fit with Mother's Day. Sometimes the creative mind has a mind of it's own. Glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteI definitely like my mother more than my father. He was just kind of a selfish bastard. I guess everyone is really. But my mother was much more selfless. She deserved better.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I know what you're saying Michael. Mother's/Father's Day comes with so much stuff attached. And it's too easy to say that Ozzy and Harriet or the Brady Bunch parents set up an unrealistic standard. Some of us just didn't have great childhoods. Whatcha gonna do?
DeleteMother's Day was different for us this year. I was blessed with such wonderful parents. Unfortunately these holidays only make everything a little bit harder. Am thankful for so many wonderful memories, though.
ReplyDeleteYour pics are gorgeous! Love them all.
Thanks Liz. Every holiday will be a bit clouded over for you I fear. Some more than others. Take care and thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Danette - I have an award for you here:

Thanks Trish! This was a nice award.
DeleteOh, gorgeous photos! We're always so protective over our young ones and then they have to go and to that whole 'growing up' thing! *deep sigh* I hope you had a good mothers day too my dear. Have a wonderful weekend!!! * clink clink* xoxo
ReplyDeleteIf we could only keep them small and close at hand!! (I have two grown daughters who no longer need supervision, bring driven to this dance lessons or gymnastics. On second thought...) XOXOX & Cheers! *clink, clink*
DeleteHahahaha such a sweet post! Loved the photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Misha! The Tiger pic is one of my faves even though it's a little faded. I was so happy to catch that look on her face at that moment.
Deleteso glad my mommy days are over but I do wish I was that young again!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome photos. That last photo does show bliss. Fabulous.
