wings catch the wind

Isn’t it amazing to really take the time to watch birds fly; whether it is a sparrow zooming across the yard or a hawk catching the thermals. I love to watch them and your poem catches that feeling so well.

I’m always stunned by how they move so fluidly as a group. It’s beautiful! 🙂

Love your poem and this sketch is amazing. Didn’t know VG had done any bird sketches but I like this very much really captures the movement and spirit of the bird.
