the followed mother

I can certainly relate to this mother swan and her 'right behind' nine (although I only caught seven in this shot) rather large cygnets.

This weekend with all the kids (although only totalling five!), I too was followed around wherever I went. I love them being close to me but sometimes when I just want to nip into a room, it would be nice to leave it again without having to squeeze past two or three children who had decided to come in too!
