The Bond Between Father and Son

In all the places I visited in India it was fascinating to see the strong nurturing role fathers had with their children (both boys and girls). So many times I saw fathers playing with their kids on the streets, or, like in this photo, fathers teaching their trade to their sons.

Innocence of Youth

Watching baby animals in the wild is a small pleasure in life. I love how even with all the dangers and unpredictability of the world they live in they seem so innocent and oblivious.

This young cub was pestering his mother to play with him. He would claw at her as she was dosing off. He continued at this until she eventually conceded and started playing back.

The Lonely Hyena Cub

This is a baby hyena, not normally an animal known for its cuteness. But this little guy just makes your heart melt. We found him alone on the side of the road, driving back to our camp in the Kruger National Park. Either it was his time to leave his mother and fend for himself, or he had somehow lost his family. Whichever case it may have been, he looked so sad, with his head resting on his paw. It was very hard not to put him in the car with us and take him home.
