Bliss
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the heartwarming bond between a newborn hippo and her doting mother, Barbell, at the West Midland Safari Park in Bewdley during the scorching heatwave of the 1990s. This enchanting photograph by John James transports us back to a moment of pure affection and love within the animal kingdom. In this tender scene, we witness Bliss nestled against her mother's side, seeking solace from both the sweltering temperatures and an overwhelming world. Their connection is palpable as they share a gentle kiss, their snouts touching in perfect harmony. It is as if Barbell instinctively knows that her little one needs comfort amidst such challenging conditions. As temperatures soared outside their watery sanctuary, these magnificent creatures found respite in each other's company. The cooling waters provided relief from the relentless sun while also serving as a backdrop for this precious display of maternal care. This image reminds us of nature's incredible ability to nurture life even under extreme circumstances. It serves as a timeless reminder that love transcends all boundaries – be it human or animal. "Bliss" encapsulates not only a fleeting moment frozen in time but also an eternal symbol of devotion between mother and child. John James' photographic prowess has immortalized this extraordinary encounter forever etched into our memories through Memory Lane Prints.
