Babies! Image Thread...human, Animals...any Medium

Here I was 9 months old and looking at myself I am filled with tenderness...! I drew my body a bit bigger than it was, following my own perception.

Mother Swan at springtime



Mother swan watching her four chicks with love, in a nest she made from dry branches, on the side of the Lake Constance in Germany. I took this photo along with others, at hacking time in spring, and manually made it as watercolor in digital media.

Releasing Baby Turtles into Water - Collage

This Seahorse watercolor painting expresses a whimsical cute baby seahorse on white background. I've embellished the fish with design shapes of tropical blue, yellow, green & orange colors.

Happy beach house décor, or ocean theme art for nursery or children's room.

Fun Facts:
• Seahorse eyes work independently, one eye can look forward when the other is looking back.
• Seahorses can change color to blend in with their surroundings.
• The male gets pregnant - the female lays her eggs in his tummy pouch to hatch. When the baby seahorses are mature, he releases them from his abdomen.

This sweet and serious little girl was intrigued by a fellow photographer when I was traveling in a small village in Nepal. Her mother was holding her and engaged in conversation with our group, while the baby was watching cautiously. I love her little face!

This sweet little White-tailed deer fawn baby was resting in grass at the back of our property near a field meadow. I loved how it looked so peaceful in its place.

Four juvenile House Finch hatchlings sharing a nest, waiting for Mom to show up with dinner. Every year, House finches build a nest under my awning. This year at least four siblings seemed to have survived.

The House Finch was originally a bird of the western United States and Mexico. In 1940 a small number of finches were turned loose on Long Island, New York, after failed attempts to sell them as cage birds (“Hollywood finches”). They quickly started breeding and spread across almost all of the eastern United States and southern Canada within the next 50 years.

Which came first... The Triceratops or the egg?
Having some digital fun, combining a couple of photography captures into one image of a Triceratops emerging from a broken eggshell.

I captured a statue of the Triceratops which was at a roadside entrance to a company on Route 40, in northeast Baltimore. I also photographed the broken eggshell and combined the two for this fun version of the dino breaking out of the shell.

My baby picture: 1931

What 3 things happened in 1931 that have to do with Art Deco? The Carlyle Hotel, the Empire State Bldg and LA artist Chuck Staley were conceived of, given life and introduced to the world.

baby mutts!



Three Sweeties : This is a pet portrait of three of our little pups being still for a fleeting moment. These ornery little fur babies had fun together before they went to their new homes and you can tell by the looks in their eyes that they were much more rambunctious than they appear in this moment. I can tell you that two seconds after I captured the photo I used to make this portrait from, they exploded into little balls of energy again.

A little fuzz ball baby gosling.

I saw these adorable lion cubs on a photo safari to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. They were in the shade of some bushes, but looking out to see what was around them. Mom and Dad weren't far away, so they felt secure.

This mama and baby Longhorn are resting in their pastureland. The Texas longhorn is known for their horns that can grow as long as 5 feet or more. They are descended from the first cattle to come to America and can have diverse colors.

Years ago friends visited with their (then) little daughter. I caught her in our old rocker and snapped an image.

Not all babies are cute!



“Black Crowned Night Heron Chicks” by Patti Deters. Three baby night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) peak out of their nest at the world below. This clutch of chicks was active high in the pine tree, moving in and out of view, and up and down the tree – though always staying quite high up. Black Crowned Night Herons are not often seen because during the day they generally just sit around hunched over, the become more active at dusk. Fun fact: Social by nature, these birds will nest in colonies with herons and egrets, and will sometimes even raise the other species’ offspring! Photographed in Fergus Falls, Minnesota.

"Mallard Mom and Ducklings Evening Swim" by Patti Deters. A female Mallard duck leads her six cute little baby ducklings, already excellent swimmers, across the calm evening waters under a bright full moon.

A lamb, grazing in the meadow at Kinder Farm park in Millersville, Maryland.

A whitetail fawn, stopping by a tree trunk in the glow of a sunlit patch of grass to scratch an itch at Fort Smallwood Park in Pasadena, Maryland. I added a watercolor painting effect 9-1-19.

A Juvenile mallard duck preening on the sandy shore. I liked this particular capture for the somewhat unusual exaggerated "twist and turn".

I'll Love you Forever

This Northern Gannet parent lovingly attends to the needs of its young in the colony of Bonaventure Island, Quebec, Canada. Both Northern Gannet parents feed their young by regurgitation, raising one chick per year. It will take 84-97 days before it is ready to fly. Meanwhile, the mother of father will sit on the juvenile gannet (as shown in this photograph) and feed it fish.

A couple of juvenile Canada Geese goslings hunting for food in shallow waters of North Carolina Outer Banks. I added a watercolor painting effect and a white vignette for a more artistic look.

Two sibling juvenile mallards resting on the shore at Orchard Beach in Pasadena, Maryland. I added a textured edge for artistic enhancement.

"Making Sure My Ship Comes In"

I thought it might be a humorous edit to add a small child pulling the Navy vessel into port. This little girl is taking no chances by making sure, her ship comes in.

Original capture of ship taken 8-17-06. I added the toddler pulling the ship "effect" 1-16-22.

all my babies are furbabies lately...funny, this one even looked like me except for the green eyes. lol

I'm finally getting around to checking out these cuties individually! 4 more days to post yours. I wanted to comment on several that were posted from Pixels but I have a hard time signing in on there...just don't want you to think I'm ignoring all those cuties! Thanks for sharing!

Juvenile Wood Duck

This juvenile wood duck was photographed in Chateauguay, Quebec, Canada, in the late summer.

What a fun thread. Loving looking at all these beautiful babies.
