"Hidden... Under Wings..."

My daughter recently sent me this photo on Pinterest.

I stared at it for a while, thinking I was looking at a sorry face... Did a duck's markings look like that from behind?!

Then I realized that I was actually looking at a photo of two ducklings hiding under a mother duck's wings!

The dots under the duck's wings are actually the eyes and beaks of two baby ducks!

A while later, I encountered two Biblical references that reminded me of this photo: "I will take cover under the refuge of your wings," a quote from Psalm 61... And the prayer: "Hide me under the shadow of your wings," from Psalm 91.

The ancients definitely knew ducks better than I do! I didn't realize that baby ducks literally did that!!
