Images of flight


There is something utterly pure about birds in flight. As they take off, flap, soar, wheel, turn, stretch, rise, dive, hover, land, there is an inexpressible grace to each motion. It is delightful to be able to freeze time and capture them in their moments of perfection, suspended between heaven and earth. 

I am starting an album of photos taken of different kinds of birds flying. So far, all the photos posted are of L.A. birds taken over the past couple of months (mostly water-birds: gulls, terns, pelicans, cormorants, and a few others, notably swallows). This will hopefully grow to include many more kinds of birds, from more places.
