The Mother

One morning I stepped out in my locality to search for a macro photography image. At I noticed some black spots on a paddy leaf with my naked eyes. When I set my camera I was spellbound to see baby ants just able to response to their mother's care. The mother ant was feeding them dew drops. I captured this sight and felt elated to come across this.
