Mother Love

What a precious photograph this is! Richard Meston was at Bicton Park Botanical Gardens near Sidmouth, Devon in England, when he came across a mother swan and her babies. The cygnets were splashing in the water around their mom.

When one started to get tired, he made his way up onto his mom’s back. The mom didn’t seem to mind, and even gave them a nudge to help him up. She kept looking back at them to make sure they were all still there. Then she swam across the pond with them.

Oh so touching! Motherhood is a very precious thing.
