December 2023 Challenge - Young


NYCat

Recommended Posts

I'd like to see images with the theme of Young. Of course, my examples will be young animals but I'm hoping for young humans too and maybe young plants, insects or whatever else you have. You can be imaginative in your choices. Let's celebrate new life for the end of the year. Here are three of mine...

Like you Paulette, my young are all of the animal and bird persuasion.

A Dusky Moorhen feeding grass seeds to a chick. The sun was not in the ideal position here, but it did illuminate the feathery down on the chick's throat.

I was photographing this adult King Skink when a baby decided to pop out from under a log as well. They are quite familial. These ones are not from my garden, but I have families of them in my backyard who are quite entertaining to watch in the warmer months.

A young male Southern Elephant Seal who had recently moulted. Although already quite large, he does not have the fully developed elephant snout that the more mature males have. When elephant seals moult they don't just get new fur, they grow completely new skin as well.
