The Maternal Instinct of a Vespa
Since this coming Sunday is already Mother’s Day, allow me to share this awesome photo of a Vespa and its young in the wild. Yes, you heard it right. Not because they’re machines doesn’t mean aren’t able to take care of future Vespa generations. How do you suppose those new models come into being? It precisely because of this inherent maternal instinct that our Vespas are able to take care for thier owners. Neglect them and they will surely conk up. Below is the rare photo of the Vespa and its calf. I really do hope National Geographic will be able to make a documentary about these elusive creatures in their natural habitat.
Since this shot was taken from a Vespa sanctuary, they photographer visibly took this shot from afar. The next photograph shows vivid details of the mother and calf. Zoom lens perhaps…
I think this one’s of a Vespa ET lineage; but since it’s in the wild, it not yet properly badged by Piaggio for easy identification.

I dedicate this “Alternate Reality” post to my mom, to my daughter’s mom, and to all other mothers who happen to stumble upon this blog entry. 
Special credit goes to Australian artist, Patricia Piccinini, who created the above Vespa Art called: The Nest. According to wikipedia, Piccinini likes to explore what she calls the ‘often specious distinctions between the artificial and the natural.’
Wild imagination, eh?

Aaaw, you couldn’t have posted anything more fitting for mom’s day. I love it. Like I told you, I don’t have a vespa and I don’t plan on getting one, but this one makes me reconsider. Would you know how much the “baby vespa” is? haha
Hey Jaymie! The ultimate goal here is, through our blogs, you convince me to run and I convince you to Vespa! hahaha!
Happy Mother’s Day!
