Bird of paradise

Description

Am surprised got this picture at all. Was trying to capture a butterfly but couldn't even see one, let alone take a picture of one, so while sitting amongst my flowers I looked up, thinking about how nice it would be to be carried away from this life of reality and live a life of fantasy. In fantasy there is love, turmoil, adventure, heartache, but usually there is a happy ending, that is why it is called Fantasy. While wishing this I looked up and I could swear the clouds began to shift. I watched for long moments, amazed at what I saw. And here I sat with a camera in my hands.

Usually I would not have realized that until it was too late, but it wasn't and I did get the picture. Because of the lens on the camera, I couldn't zoom out far enough to get the whole whimsical bird, but I captured enough so you too can have the feeling that sometimes there is magic in the air. If I could have ran, I would have ran inside and changed lens, but that would have been a dream in itself. So I sat there, wanting so much to be carried off to wherever it was going to. And it did fade away, to become nothing more then a tuff of clouds.

The bird, I call bird of paradise, but it reminds me of the tattoo on my back, the phoenix, though it could be a great owl, or many other kind of birds. Wonder what bird you see, if you see one at all.
