Gifts from friends #2 - Thankful 4 challenge

This pretty statue was a gift from my friend Yvonne. We met at dance class - we always ended up doing the same part of the routine as we are both quite tall with long arms and legs. We quickly became firm friends thanks to our shared zany sense of humour. Yvonne has recently moved to Hong Kong as her hubby got a job there. I miss her loads, but I'm enjoying sharing her adventures on Facebook. I'm still looking forward to her coming back for a visit soon!

What a lovely gift. And a lovely shot. The background really brings out the white of the bird. Excellent detail and focus. I'm sure you will see your friend soon. Well done.
