With junior (I am still trying to decide what to name it) getting bigger and able to be alone more often, mom went for a quick flight and then settled into a nearby tree for some alone time. No doubt she just needed a bit of a break, something most parent’s relish when the opportunity comes. She posed for a number of pictures, yawned, even closed her eyes for a bit.
