wow, what a beautiful and free-spirited photo of flight, BJ. The quote is wonderful too. I read that the Wright Brothers studied birds intensely as they worked on building their flying machines. They had faith in flight too.

Thanks for sharing these thoughts, Jet! I was fascinated to discover that this quote by Barrie was in an early work of his, in which the character of Peter Pan first appeared!

So true BJ, with perfect faith we can rise above our daily concerns and soar like eagles over it all, and begin to se life from our God’s perspective. It has been an interesting observation for me to photograph small birds leaping from branches with closed wings. here is a link to my SpecialStuff page: http://www.aussiebirder.com/specialstuff
