Wildlife

On a forest walk on Maui last week, we came across quite a few free range chickens and their chicks. The mother of this one was taking a dirt bath and spraying this little one and her other four babies with dirt. They couldn't have been more than a day or so old but it was amazing how they had learned some independence in such a short time. Isn't nature marvelous??? :-)))

This shot was taken on a whale watching trip out of Juneau, Alaska September 2014. There were literally hundreds along the shore of this small island. Explore May 16/2015
