This projects a direct and indirect image, Andrea....the young energetic swallows romp in the sky, while the older ones sit on wires and watch. I am sure Tania will like this one. ~ Regards // paul

Ahh!! I like this one. They are so beautiful in flight and when they are diving for insects. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. Your visit to my page was delightful. Sara
