Kite flying



I have recently started a new job so am meeting lots of new people, one of them, Necip Perver appears to be a brilliant photographer, especially of birds. I like the red kite image above but if you want to choose any of his others from his Gallery on photo.net his other birds (or dragonflies) that is! and link to it that would be fine too.

Rhyme or free, not less than 10 lines (or 50 words FV) not more than 50 lines please, I'm not going to count accurately that is guidance.

Make the poetry as beautiful as the birds and photography please.

If you choose to "view the image above full size you will see quite what a stunning bird a red kite is.

    Not a kite that you fly, just to let you know. It's a bird.

      I have passed that on to my colleague, he also has a new website at www.neciphoto.co.uk where there are even more. I think they are amongst the best nature photos I have seen, which is why I am running the contest!
