Be like the bird in flight . . . pausing a while on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, yet sings knowing yet, that she has wings.
— Victor Hugo

ReplyDeleteI miss these birds so much. They were a regular staple when we lived above the pond on the horse farm, and now I rarely get to see them. Lovely, Kerri.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot. I love seeing them in flight.
ReplyDeleteI saw the one at the lake this morning. He was at the edge of the water sleeping.
One of my favourite birds. Beauty in motion.
ReplyDeleteSeeing him in flight is some spectacle. Elegant but powerful, know that those wings will carry him safely around.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot, Kerri
