Photo of Penguins is Award Winner and Heart Stopper

Today’s Renee of Sunshine is too good not to share. It is about a photo of two Fairy penguins looking at the lights of Melbourne, Australia.

Check out the photos here! MELT MY HEART!

The one penguin has its wing around the other.  It is a sweet photo…the back story is even more touching  Both penguins lost their mates. The smaller gray penguin is an older female widow and the larger darker penguin is a younger male widower. They are often seen in what appears to be comforting each other.  They do this on a regular basis. #compasion

The photographer spent a few nights with the penguin colony before he was able to get that image.

It is such a special image that has won the Community Choice Award in Oceanographic magazine’s Ocean Photography Awards 2020.
