Yesterday, I posted my Cheetah and ask if it was the fastest animal in the world...well, it's not. May I present to you the fastest animal in the world: The Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus). The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest creature on the planet. In its hunting dive, the stoop, in which it soars to a great height, then dives steeply at speeds in excess of 200mph (320 km/h) into either wing of its prey, so as not to harm itself on impact. The top speed recorded is 242.3mph (390 km/h). Now THAT'S fast food!! 8~D

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.
Oh Boy what a beauty of a picture - excellent :)
It is giving you quite a look - probably saying "Hmmm this guy looks a year older" :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

No wonder he's not afraid of you. He'd be gone so fast, I'm surprised you got a shot of him at all..and he's not an animal...he's a bird. :P

But let me tell you this:

Great picture. Looks like he knows he`s getting his picture taken and put on a mean pose.
Well done.
