Never get between a momma and her babies. Love this brilliant haiku, Bill.

Thanks, saw the image and then decided to make a poem for it. Sometimes it works out. :-) Bill

Nice fresh baby food! This is such an amazing snapshot of the bear and the salmon. I suppose the person who took this picture used a high-quality camera with strong zoom in qualities. I cannot imagine anyone being too close to get this picture, especially if a mama bear is getting ready to feed her cubs!

Oh, I love this scene every time I see it (on tv). Mother bear is a good teacher. Your poem is A-1.

Bill, the web of nature often involves predation. This is great when the checks and balances are working. You've singled out a particularly striking lesson about survival and the food chain. Hope there's not too much plastic in that fish!

That would make the fish valuable because it certainly would be rare these days. Thanks for the mindful comment, Duke. Have a pleasant day, my friend. Bill
