Buni took these photos of the kids hanging out the in the large hammock on the back porch. The alpine sun is intense. Even a stint in the hammock requires the application of sunscreen.
I wasn't present when the photos were taken, so all I can do is imagine why Gnome pulled away (the bright sunlight). Whenever the tenderness between emerges naturally, I am insensibly happy and deeply content.
And I'm grateful to my mother for capturing these precious moments between my brown-haired fledglings.
