Honoring Mothers: A Photo Essay

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom and to all Mothers out there whether you are a dog Mom, child Mom, cat Mom, goat Mom or flower Mom! Let’s celebrate all Mothers today, including the animal mothers who love their offspring with the same fierceness as a human mother. 

Here’s to Mothers of all species–we may think we’re better than them, but are we really?

A mama white-tailed deer and her fawn.
Mama turkey with her growing brood.
Mama goose with her hungry goslings.
A longhorn cow and her young calf.
A human mama and her smiling baby!

A mama black bear with her two very little cubs.
A mama grizzly bear with her two growing cubs in Alaska, teaching them to hunt fish in the river.
A mama elephant and her two calves.

I long for a world where we can celebrate and treat ALL Mothers with kindness, respect and compassion.

I will vote for the world I want with my actions and my pocketbook. A kinder, more humane world is possible. Wouldn’t you like to be part of that world too?
