You have the most incredible timing to be able to get some beautiful and touching shots like this. Oh how proud he looks and I think if you got to close you would find out how protective. Beautiful colors, love the framing, amazing features and setting. One of those nature pictures that makes you marvel at the new life it brings. Stunning work my friend. #9071436
