Have you ever thought what it would be like to view the earth as a bird? Ever dreamed you could fly (not in an airplane!) soaring about the treetops capable of touching the clouds (other than fog, of course)?

Here are 30 incredibly fantastic views you could see if you were a bird…
Ever wondered while you were that bird how you would manage getting food? Takes patience and a lot of perseverance…
A Bird’s Eye View
Wings expand with the gentle breeze
Soaring through the blue
Blade and bloom grace the meadowland
Nothing like a bird’s eye view
O’er rolling hills, down into valleys
Sleek, graceful, strong, light as a feather
Exploring recently harvested fields
Elegant in flight, no matter the weather
Seeking, searching, forward, backward
Circling what’s captured in sight
Watching for the right moment
To begin a natural fight
A chameleon crawls along the ground
Changing color, shifting from brown to green
Searching fervently for grasshoppers and worms
Camouflaged, barely visible, almost unseen
Swift, agile, virtually without a sound
Crawlapin sighted, playing hide ’n’ seek
A sharp dive, graceful swoop upward
Renders barely a snippet in the beak
Nature has a way of caring for her own
Ventures unconquered start anew
With a keen eye and unblemished spirit
Perseverance – from a bird’s eye view

Good one!
Those photos are fantastic!! I wish i could fly haha! 😀
This is a great post and a wonderful poem. 🙂 Love it!
Have you ever thought what it would be like to fly like a bird? I remember as a child having the recurring dream I could fly. I actually sensed flying about the trees and reaching down touching the leaves at the very top. Quite an emotional dream!

I still dream of flying sometimes… but usually, just when it gets interesting, I realize that I can’t – and then I fall – fall – fall – and HIT – and wake up…
It’s like in a comic strip… scary… ARGH!!
