Sibling Rivalry
Down along the canal there are five limpkin youngin’s in their awkward years. Any two or three of them at any given moment might break into a squabble.
The Struggle to Survive
Even though the competition is fierce, most of the chicks have become adept at finding & cracking open shells for food.
Mama’s Boy
The smallest, however, still hides under Mama’s skirt…
…and expects her to feed him!
But enough is enough! This time, when the little brat stole her tasty morsel yet once again, you can clearly see her exasperation.
🙂 So she took her next treat & swam away 🙂
Your photos are amazing. Thank you for sharing. I also enjoy your posts about the problems with god. I don’t have much introspective into the way religion works. My grandfather was a preacher, the most gentle and kind soul I have known. I always had questions that went unanswered. I studied Anthropology and Archaeology in my early 20’s. I came to realize that humankind can’t always deal with the realities. There must be a higher source. That is what people have prayed for, made religions, war and genocide over the ages.
There is a higher source. It lies within us, waiting to fly.
Thanks for all of your posts! I look forward to them…

And I miss shooting birds. My life has been lately reduced to shooting people! Well, maybe that’s not so bad, a lot of them deserve it. 🙂
