Description
Truly honored that "Flights Of Fancy" received the honor of "Administrator's Choice" in the 10/19/2023 contest "Weird Winged Things" of the "Myth Magic and Spirituality" group. Many thanks to contest administrator Katherine Nutt. Congratulations to the contest winners!!
You’ve been wanting to get away from the civilized world for months .. maybe a year. Maybe longer. And you’ve finally done it … broken away from friends and family and work and those incessant phones and constant deadlines and demands. You and your camera reuniting with nature. With the wildlife you’ve studied so long and love so well … with air and sun … breathing free. Even if it’s just for today. Out in the forest, or is it a pond … or a swamp … or the desert … wherever it is, you’re finally free. Not for long, of course. You’ll go back again. You just needed a break.
But things haven’t turned out the way you expected. The wildlife you’ve witnessed has been scarce and shy. And what promised to be a glorious clear-blue-sky day has deteriorated dramatically. A strange fog has enveloped the landscape … orange and red from the sun … it can’t be sunset yet, can it?
You glance around, not sure of your bearings. Yep. Definitely time to head back. Wherever “back” is ….
As you turn, your eyes catch sight of something you never expected to see.
Hovering over a mist-shrouded pond ... the rare Featheropolous Farcicainimous Flamingus Gloriosus ... long thought to be extinct ... yet here they are!!! Right before your very eyes!!! Blissfully unaware of you ... and happily engaged in their legendary and hauntingly beautiful dance of love ....
Too bad your camera's battery died.

Fine art purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag."

Katherine thank you!! I’m thrilled with the honor, and thrilled that you enjoyed the image and the little story that goes with. I used to write a humor column, big fun … and now snd then some of my old silliness still leaks out!
