These pictures were taken on my walk today (oops, yesterday now). The top is of a kestrel. The bottom is a flock of mourning doves.

Sepia is my favourite. It reminds me of when I was a boy and all the world was that colour, including my brother.

Love the centre shot, mb :o)

Happy New Year, mb. Where did you ever find a sky with that color? It's beautiful and other-worldly. Lovely.

J'adore cet oiseau dans ce ciel nu !
Emouvant !
La sobriété de l'image lui donne beaucoup de force !

The bird's flight is so symbolic of transition and change.

Happy New Year, Mb.
