The Koala exhibit at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is just gorgeous. Just before I took this shot, Momma and baby looked like they were asleep, all cuddled together. I'm glad she sat up for a shot.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

She looks like she's telling him a bedtime story. A really charming Madonna and Child shot, Jim.

Wonderful shot, Jimbob. Beautiful image of mother and child. The mother looks as though she just woke up and as you say, she just did.

What a cute family shot. Don't think she is too happy with you on waking her up. Beautifully done.

All the young look to their parents for peace and protection, JimboB. You have captured that feeling. So well done.

A lovely image of this mother and child. I think she's wearing the slightly bored look of the parent who is telling the same bed-time story for the millionth time.
