Nice capture, Helen! Good to see you are still clicking the old shutter ;) Over 20,000 images and 16M hits! Very prolific! Saw your comment on Jose's picture and flashed back to the old Sony forums of almost 20 years ago.

You got her just when she plopped into the water. A fine shot!

Fun Nature shot. Moms need some time to themselves no matter the species.

I bet that feels good since it is undoubtedly quite hot out there. Excellent capture! ~BV~
