Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day for all you mothers and fathers!

Morning hour sent in a small chirping sound

from the tree outside my 3rd floor window

A young bird of the same feather 
The pair I caught a glimpse of earlier last month

Here are two shots of the young bird hopping from one tree branch to another
outside the window

It turns out to be a mango tree now it’s fruiting time.

Below is a photo shot in early April

A pair of song birds, commonly seen in Taiwan 

resting on the tree top side by side 

A profusion of flowers coming out from tree branches 

Three young swallows  

waiting impatiently in their nest
under the qilou of a marketplace 

Mother swallow swooping back and forth
all morning 

Delivering breakfast straight to the open mouths

of these hungry young birds

A baby deer was born in the backyard 

left inside the yard surrounded by wooden fence

At dusk, mother deer came back 

to nurse her baby

Several nights in a row 

Until it was strong enough to jump 

over the fence to join her

A few months later

Mother and fawn were detected grazing in the green pasture 
an intimate moment of mother and child
