Marta Boulden
I just love this picture. I was quite moved when I looked at it. Such beauty in seing animals express care and devotion. Then I saw the note you wrote about the loss of their cub. You captured it. Beautiful.
francophotos replied
Thanks again Marta it was really heartwrenching for me to see them like this as I had also seen them on previous occasions with the cub, they were continuosly consoling each other(you can see this in the other shots in the series) and I could see the sadness in their eyes compared to how they were before their loss
