Arched

This vulture was sunning itself in the tree above our home. It was arching its wings to absorb every drop of sunshine!

Nice capture...it's always very dramatic when you catch
them in this pose and the view through the branches adds
to the drama. Good shot! - Racine

Un beau jour ou peut-être une nuit
Près d'un lac je m'étais endormie
Quand soudain, semblant crever le ciel
Et venant de nulle part,
Surgit un aigle noir.

Lentement, les ailes déployées... (paroles et musique by Barbara)
