Taking flight....

This beautiful large bird of prey, took flight as I drove past him this lunchtime. Nature at it's best. I stopped to take this photo, and only afterwards I noticed the beautiful fallen log, entwined with the suffocating ivy.

Sadly, my loving, kind, sometimes stubborn and very brave dad, passed away peacefully, this afternoon. I have no words to express how proud I am of this man, whom I was fortunate enough to be able to call my dad. Of course, we are all heartbroken, but he is now at peace.

RIP dad. As I said in my blip on his 91st birthday, less than 1 month ago. They really don't make them like him any more.
