Beauty and strength, both forged in the wild.

Growing fast by Shelly Lynn Hachey O Via Flickr: Young Grizzly cub catching up to mother bear - taken in the Canadian Rockies. Hope he has a safe season - life is not easy for baby bears. Only about 35% to 50% of grizzly bear cubs survive to adulthood. They face an incredibly difficult journey, making grizzlies one of the slowest-reproducing land mammals in North America.

This is a breeding scene of the beautiful, melodious long-tailed flycatcher. In Korea, they are summer visitors, nesting in mountain valleys where flying insects and mosquitoes abound. They feed their chicks with various insects such as robber flies, cicadas, and moths, and after the young fledge, they train them higher up in the valley before migrating south.

In this photograph, the father bird, with moth dust on his head from the hunt, is delivering food to his chick — a tender moment of devotion.

Every time I photograph them, I am deeply moved. Though these wild birds have no contact with humans, their way of life and the love they show for their young is truly touching.

I hope these chicks grow well and return to Korea in great numbers. And I wish that more people will have the chance to see them. May good fortune always follow the young birds.

Väl hemma efter jobbet tog jag ut Idun i spåret och lät henne springa av sig all energi. Perfekt en dag som denna då det inte varit lika varmt ute. ( Home from work and straight to the forest with Idun. She got to run off all that energy while I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The cooler weather made it the perfect afternoon for a walk among the trees.)
