Take Off

“The reason birds can fly and we can’t is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.”

– J.M. Barrie

I've often wondered how they manage to take off and fly - always look so awkward until they get lined out.

@wakelys @pdulis @valerina @dutchothotmailcom @judithdeacon @radiogirl @baileyadam @marlboromaam @milaniet @seattlite @jgpittenger @taffy @777margo @koalagardens Thanks for your comments and favs... watching the Great Blue Heron take off in flight always amazes me... like @milaniet Milanie says... they do look awkward at first... they have those long legs and dangling feet yet they still manage to fly with their lovely wingspan and beautiful feathers. The sounds they make sound prehistoric... nature is simply amazing and I feel Rather fortunate to see and photograph moments of beauty like this.
