Ibis


I was walking by the railway tracks and this Ibis let me get very close. I've mentioned here I always think of this art work when I see them on bins like that.












I was excited to get the wings extended.


Coming home, the bonus sunset made me attempt to get the wings in full span, but alas, no luck!

    I was impressed by you being that close to an Ibis. Golly the beak is so long I wonder if it bumps into things. The ibis wings are huge but he/she looks awkward when landing. What a wonderful bird to see up close and personal. Thank you for the chance.

    There he stands, majestic, spreading his wings, and I don't know what is more beautiful, the ibis or the sunset? Both are probably magnificent in their perfection.
