24th December 2013 - Red Kite fly past

On my walk with Finlay this morning I was thrilled when this lovely kite flew overhead. He just glided above me and gave me time to get a couple of shots off before he flew away. Made my day!! Got home and now my legs feel like jelly - hope I feel better tomorrow!!

Many thanks for all your lovely comments yesterday and Christmas greetings!! Happy Holidays!!
