This photo has always been a favorite of mine.
I freely confess to saturating the colors and brightening the scene. This time, I even added a vignette effect.
But I'm pleased to say those babies formed a perfect half-circle on their own. Right time, right place. And captured forever.

"We are Family!" Sooo cute and mom certainly is watching over them Mary! #1605511Kirsten Kiki Kjaer January 30, 2015
It is also a favorite of mine since I first saw it, Mary. This is one of those images where (and I quote Ansel Adams) "Sometimes I do get to the places just when God’t ready to have somebody click the shutter."
