mother love

below are some snippets of a lovely day my mom and i shared friday in smithville.

the sweetest thing (besides the candy shop) was the feathered family living amongst the flower beds of an angel store.

mom, with the babies beneath her

peek-a-boo!

there were nine chicks in total. the hen kept a watchful eye on her babies while she kicked up the flower beds for food. they were very trusting of humans and came within inches of me!

my mom and i resisted the urge to pick one up!

there's a also a family of ducks living on the grounds. them, not so trusting.

run, kids! it's another crazy lady with a camera!
