Lightbox made with layered white and black paper in a wood frame up against a sunny window. The image is of three young piping plovers on a sandy beach. The one in the center is reflected in a puddle of water. Overturned boats, buildings, a lifeguard tower, people having fun and the waves of Lake Michigan can be seen n the background. The blue sky and clouds are visible through the open back along with the surrounding trees.

Love my #delightbox portrait of baby Sea Rocket, Prickly Pear & Wild Indigo by @timkocher.bsky.social. It commemorates our visit to #MontroseBeach on 7/21/23 to see the captive #pipingplover chicks from NY after their release in #Chicago 🥰 @chicagopiping.bsky.social #endangeredspecies #sunlightbox
