The Overseer

peregrine falcon

                                    scout upon the citadel

                                    pigeons kept in check

Oh I'm thrilled you love this one my friend! As you know birds occupy much of my mind, the falcons in particular I find 'perfect' in design. Too, most of my haiku are about birds, I couldn't bring myself to be judged in the new bird haiku contest. You made my day Robert, Thank You! Hugs :) xomo!

Sweet! Since I quit biking I haven't been downtown much, but I used to keep tabs on a pair nesting on a high rise hotel. Even got to see them mate once! Blink and you miss it ;) Thank you SO :) xomo!
