I was saving this post for a special ocassion, and those close to me know why.
Tomorrow will be that special day, my wings will not be clipped any more!
This is why I chose this small, almost insignificant bird with the freedom to fly as high as he can!!!!!
Fly, Ruddy, fly........ :) :)

Very nice background, excellent composition, the bird could be a little sharper. Congratulations on your new status. Single ?? I guess.

great capture fab. It's hard enough to get one of these standing still albeit flying.

Congrats on your new status....
