Under mother's wings


A well-known imagery for safety and security are the wings of a mother bird. Her wings provide warmth and a shelter for her vulnerable young. Similar symbols are frequently used in the Bible as God provides warmth, love, and safety for His children. I remembered these verses when I was observing an avocet family. We spend our Pentecost weekend on Texel. It was more a weekend for relaxing, not too much time for photography. Nevertheless, I remembered this important lesson in just a small hour along the waterside.

Cheers,
