Happy Mothers Day Photo

Photographer’s Note

View of the river Annan taken near the end of a lovely day.The Annan is a Salmon river. On another stretch of the river my husband came upon a mother otter and her cub playing near the bank. He was able to watch them for quite some time before being detected by the mother. The mother otter swam away to the far bank but the young otter showing no fear followed my husband as he continued his walk, He had to stop and shoo the baby towards its mother who was calling frantically for it.
It's only 4am and I have already opened my Mothers Day cards.Wishing Mothers everywhere a lovely day.

Hello Bev
A beautifully balanced and atmospheric composition that perfectly catches the fading light of a northern day. I really like the way the simplicity and subtle color of the frame enhance the image.

Thank you for bringing back distant memories of my grandparents' farm and for the interesting note and thoughtful wishes.

Hello Bev,
A bit different, not really telling a story, but a lovely view of a place looking so peaceful and quiet. Excellent colours and light management.
Best regards,
Gert
