Baby Animals – Resistance is Futile


Cuteness overload

Brother and sister baby foxes being way too cute.

That disarming look, that confident, open-minded approach to the world… Baby animals hold an authenticity, a sincerity that many adults (and people) lose. Such a shame.

I’ve often wondered why these babies fascinate me so  boundlessly
No matter if it’s a cute owlet chick, a baby fox kit, a fluffy young gosling, a newborn rabbit, lamb or a cygnet…. I just-can’t-resist!

Of course, everyone one likes cute animals, nothing new about that.
But , being a serious nature photographer, you just say ‘aww‘ and move on….towards really cool models like sea eagles, brown bears or foxes.

Ode to Baby Animals

But not me. I get hypnotized by these huge beady eyes.
I…
Love the eagerness and enthusiasm that come with childhood.
Cherish childlike innocence.
Celebrate enthusiasm and
Value blind faith and unconditional belief.
Smile at clumsiness and I laugh out loud silliness
Highly appreciate playfulness.
Admire naïvety.
Honor honesty
Adore frankness.
Praise sincerity.
Worship authenticity.

So yeah, I guess I have a weak spot for baby animals!

Heartwarming innocence; perfect for nurseries, children’s rooms or simply to brighten your day. Shop my Baby Animal Prints
