The feeling that I get from this image is unsurpassed. I feel a freedom and lightness that fills me with hope. The perspective makes it seem like we’ve happened onto something intimate and almost sacred as this bird takes flight right before our eyes. Of course, it makes it that much better that it was captured my lovely and talented sister (as in birth sister and shutter sister). Thanks Jessica for sharing it with us today. It is certainly one sweet shot!
And here are the other honorees this month:
Shawna of Bella Luna is honoring this shot by Maine Momma
Jessica is honoring this shot by vivacreativa
Karyn is honoring the shot in a post called River by Mary Carroll
Jenny Rebecca is honoring this shot by seasassyme

Celia is honoring this shot and this shot from brenda magos
Jen Lemen is honoring this shot by goddessleonie
Georgia is honoring the first shot in a post by red or gray depends on the day
