I really do have a reason for posting this sequence of bird shots on Mother's Day!
This little couple was enjoying hanging out on the Dogwood tree in my yard.
The male was all about flying back and forth to the feeder ... bouncing around in the tree branches ... and, it seemed that he wanted to "bug" the poor little female who just wanted to sleep.
She found a safe branch, puffed up her feathers, turned her head and closed her eyes.
I watched her for about 10 minutes, sleeping and hanging onto that branch as the wind shook it at a pretty good clip.
I couldn't help but think about the parallel. All those women out there, who just want to catch a few winks, withstand the tests of all that comes their way ... only to carry on and do what mothers do.
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and women out there who nurture, love and do one heck of a bang up job! Catch a few winks if you can!
