I watched this bird for a long time hoping to catch it in flight. Finally it took off and I got a great capture of this fabulous and elegant bird.

    It is always fun to get a picture of a bird with outspread wings....Great capture! You have to have patience to wait for the right moment and the flowers underneath are beautiful in contrast with the white bird.

    I know I commented before on this image but it is really beautiful and had to come back for a return trip ...It is a once in a life time type of image that you don't see too often where the flowers and the bird are in the same picture!
