Taking Flight by bmnorthernlight

Taking Flight

Wow, I think I am slightly lost for words - your response to my dancing fairies has been overwhelming!! I never dreamed I would get so many faves and in such a short space of time! I am deeply flattered and ever so slightly panicked...how on Earth am I meant to follow up on this one?! You are all awesome and I truly appreciate ever comment, view and fav! It does spur me on to keep trying new things and discovering what I like. 365 has clearly opened my eyes to beauty I would've never noticed before - I mean, mosquitoes, really?!!

Spent a wonderful hour over lunchtime with my friend walking around Paddy Freeman Park, her pup Bradley nearly back to his usual self ( http://365project.org/bmnorthernlight/extras/2012-01-23).
Stayed on for another hour trying my hand at some more birds in flight. Thanks to all the Mums and toddlers feeding the ducks and gulls!

Off out to check for a slight chance of Northern Lights now - keep your fingers crossed!
this is superb - what fantastic light - hope you get to see the Lights - that'd be awesome!

@tabbycat Aren't they just fabulous! I know some can be like bullies with wings but I just love seagulls. Thanks so much!! Yay :-) *skipping excitedly* Did you notice the spot of cross processing I did?!
