EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photograph captured by John James, we are transported to the West Midland Safari Park in Bewdley during the late 1990s. The image showcases an endearing moment between a family of hippos, as they find respite from their adventuresome day. At the forefront of the picture, we see an utterly exhausted baby hippo nestled closely between its mother and father. Their massive bodies partially submerged in water, they appear content and at peace within their watery sanctuary. The weariness is evident on their faces, yet there is also a sense of tranquility that radiates from them. The bond between these majestic creatures is palpable; it's as if time stands still for this family unit amidst the bustling safari park. The protective presence of both parents enveloping their little one speaks volumes about their devotion and love. This snapshot encapsulates not only a beautiful moment shared among animals but also reminds us of our own capacity for tenderness and compassion towards our loved ones. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in nature's wildness, there exists moments of serenity and familial connection. John James has masterfully immortalized this precious scene through his lens, allowing us to cherish this memory forevermore through Memory Lane Prints.
