A Mother’s Love
A foal snuggles up to its mother at a private zoo in Querétaro, Mexico. “I was attracted by the newest member of a family of horses that was running around the field,” writes Medina. “I decided to approach to touch him. When I was close, he decided to take cover under his lovely mom.”
Medina’s picture was recently published in Your Shot’s Daily Dozen and the Your Shot assignment The Power of a Smile.
