Monsters have babies too.
Baby monsters are even harder to find than the elusive "baby" pigeon. Very few folks can say that they've seen them, let alone created their portraits. I have been lucky. As you might imagine, monster parents can be a bit protective. Mothers in particular. They consider us (humans) more than a bit strange and potentially dangerous. It took most of my free time, lots of monster "treats" and carefully followed Monster Etiquette to befriend just a few of them. Even then, I felt a bit nervous and on edge as I made sketches of their most beloved offspring. It is always a good idea to remind oneself that monsters are ultimately unpredictable creatures, and should be given proper respect at all times.

Once at the terminus at #Aylsham on the #BVR we made our way to the caféteria where a posh #MothersDay tea was waiting to be served. Unfortunately, I was so busy eating that I forgot to take a picture of the #food when it arrived.

Naeema:

"Forgive me if I ever fell short,
For no matter what I do, I can never repay you…
You are the paradise I walk this earth for 🌸

Every year, you are my heartbeat, my wishes, and my peace…
Happy Mother’s Day to the most precious soul in my life 💖"

(Note:) Julia Ward Howe’s 1870 “Mother's Day Proclamation” called upon mothers of all nationalities to band together to promote the "amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace."[14]

‘Tears and grief’: Mother’s Day in Gaza marked by mourning

Day of intense hardship as mothers mourn children lost in war and children face day without their mothers.

Al Jazeera
On Mother’s Day…
To the mothers of Palestine—your strength in the face of loss, displacement, and fear is beyond words.
To every mother who lost her child, and every child who lost their mother… our hearts are with you.
Even in the darkest times, you continue to protect, love, and endure.
Happy Mother’s Day… you are unbreakable.

🪷 Happy Egyptian Mother's Day! #EgyptianMothersDay is celebrated on March 21st, the first day of spring. Egyptian journalist Ali Amin first proposed the idea of a holiday for children to "treat their mothers like queens" ... and it has been celebrated since 1956. We remember #Horus and #Isis. #mothersday 🪷
