In many myths and legends, birds link the human world to the divine or supernatural realms that lie beyond ordinary experience. Birds assume a variety of roles in mythology and religion. They play a central part in some creation myths and frequently appear as messengers of the deities. And they are often associated with the journey of the human soul after death.

I do not know what to say about this one.
I am speechless. (Those who know me would be surprised at that :) )
Combined with your lovely narration this image is simply breathtaking.

P.S. I really like this one.

A stunning design. Very kinetic. The colors are terrific and the image fidelity is incredible. The stylistic quality really does lend itself to metaphysical, even mythological references. Nice job...as usual.

Delicious image Lauren. I love the title as well. Thank you or the informative comment :) I got this n the voting booths and it got high marks from me. Good clean liens and good use of the color palette my friend., Well done all the way around.
Thanks also for visiting ~solitude~ Mother Nature provide me with a shaft of light and the staff provided the bud with the water and I provided the camera, so all together it was just a team effort! Glad you enjoyed it angel. Your support means very much to me and it not taken lightly :~)

Beautiful, subtle and graceful.
