Description


The Sun Was Setting And I Was Taking Photos Of A Cove.
I looked up and saw this pair of birds flying all around in unison.
I was so happy to get this image. It was one of those photos
that makes you smile when you click the shutter!

I hope you like it.

Or as Ansel Adams has said: "Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter."
It surely is gorgeous, Sister. And those colors!!! WOW!
It makes me think of Jonathan Livingston Seagul :) #11200767

Hi Laura Lee and SSSKiki :) When I opened this image just now (because you had commented! And Thank you so much!) my feeling was..."I feel like Mom and Dad took this picture for me since they might be flying around somewhere right now!" This to me is a true "Birds eye view". Thank you so much for viewing it and for your kind words. Kiki, I remember Ansel's quote and it is so humbling and true. We are not the creators but the reporters, if we are lucky enough to be! :) #11200966

Beautiful image Laura and I agree with everyone here. It's so symbolic, and inspirational. Reminds me of the song Wind Beneath my Wings. Everyone has heroes in their loves, our parents for one. So touching Laura!...Rey #11686293
