Mothers Day

Mothers, the perennial source of love and comfort, may not wear capes, but they are the true heroes in our lives. Mother"s Day gives us a moment to embrace the warmth they generously offer. In today"s image, we see a guanaco mother and baby, relatives of the llama, roaming the vast grasslands of La Pampa, Argentina. Just like a human mom, a guanaco female is fiercely protective of her child, also known as "chulengo."
