When you see me
Fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over.

Neil Young

Great post as usual! I added last one into my favorites. Thanks for sharing! davidcardona · 2012-05-03: 01:30

God must have been in a great mood when he made the African birds, they are so bright and exuberant, and the variety never ceases to enthrall me, watching the birds is always one of my favourite things when I go home, I love it. You wouldn't think, looking at your photo of the kingfisher, that if he turned around, you would be dazzled by turquoise wings... Annbramwell · 2012-05-03: 04:24

I really like #3/4 - lovely detail and light. If I knew anything about birds I would know what they were, but as I don't, I don't... any idea? davids · 2012-05-03: 04:33

Nice set! It's great to catch their beautiful views~ jwendell · 2012-05-03: 05:32
