Want to spread my wings and fly
Away into the sky
How I dream to be so free
No more sadness no more pain
No more anger no more hate
How I dream to have those wings and fly into the sky

If now, I could grant my wish
I'd wish to have those wings
Those wings just like the birds
That fly up in the air

So high up in the air
With feathers bright and fair

No wealth nor power can make
My heart filled with such joy
Want to spread my wings and fly
Away into the sky
How I dream to be so free
No more sadness no more pain
No more anger no more hate
How I dream to have those wings and fly into the sky

Want to spread my wings and fly
Away into the sky
How I dream to be so free
No more sadness no more pain
No more anger no more hate
How I dream to have those wings and fly into the sky


I'd fly with those wings....

Newt Gingrich was bitten by a penguin at the Saint Louis Zoo on Friday during a private tour, zoo officials said. The candidate was on the tour before giving a speech to the National Rifle Association convention when "he was nipped on the finger" by a Magellanic penguin, Susan Gallagher, the zoo's public relations director, told Reuters on Monday. A Band-Aid, she added, "took care of the injury." Gingrich has made frequent zoo visits a part of his presidential campaign....

What a strange story! Your bird photos are just outstanding!!! Is it a Blue Heron??? It looks like you were right up beside it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ginny...y'know, you shoulda linked up to TTS today too.
DeleteAs always the comments are better than the story itself. Poor Newt, even the penguins are after him.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots of the heron(?).
Yes, they are always too, too funny. And, yes, it's a heron.
DeleteGanz wundervolle Fotos. Bin begeistert.
ReplyDeleteLG Mathilda
Thank you Mathilda
DeleteYour photos are so good!! I always love the bird pictures! Enjoy your weekend : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Joyce.
DeleteTHOSE (on the Newt story) of some of the funniest comments I have ever read!
ReplyDeleteAs always, I am so envious of your bird photographing skills.
Awwww, shucks, you make me blush. Thanks for the compliment.
DeleteThose are GREAT comments! And I sometimes dream I have wings and can fly. Hugs to you, Anni! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet DJan.
DeleteOh, you picked the perfect song for your photos. The two together tell a story of a bird finding its wings. At first he is shy and unsure, but soon finds his inspiration and off he goes. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Trash Talk, funny as usual. Love the Batman comment!
Hope the patio project is going well. Can't wait to see photos.
Happy Thursday!
Well, the patio is getting near 'done'...just need to clean it up some before I take photos. Perhaps tomorrow. I too love the Batman comment.
DeleteThose comments are so funny. Your photos are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the Patio project.
Hugs
Sharon...it's always good to have you stop by with a sweet hello!!!
DeleteThe pictures are beautiful. The comments not so beautiful. So sad that people are so nasty.
ReplyDeleteLoved your doggie post today Lois.
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful pictures and oh my goodness Susan Boyle's voice is magical.
ReplyDeleteHugs Madi and Mom
Isn't her singing just phenomenal.
DeleteAs a little girl, I dreamed of being a bird. I would climb to the top of our maple tree and imagine what it would be like to fly. Now that I'm in a wheelchair, that dream is even more desired. Then I could go where ever I wanted. This post is extra special. Thanks Sweetie!
ReplyDeleteI swear I sit and watch birds a lot and dream of being up in the sky soaring and free.
DeleteBeautiful choice for TTS, Anni...both music and photos.
ReplyDeleteGotta wonder what the Newt did to anger the penguin. I met a lovely penguin in Orlando and he was more interested in my shoes than in the rest of me. He certainly didn't bite.

Poor Newt....so many people pick on him.
DeleteYour photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove all those comments, gave me a good laugh
I love the 'trash talk'...it's always good for a few laughs.
DeleteI love Susan Boyle's voice... I have one of her CD's.... Great song---and love the heron...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Me too...her voice just reeks of pure pleasure!!!

You have a great weekend too, Maggie.
DeleteI so love blue heron!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn.
DeleteHi Anni,
ReplyDeleteUntil last night, I had so much trouble with blogger. Trust it will be ok now. Sorry I didn't link my Bonnie lies over the ocean song.
Sometimes I like to be a bird, and fly.
That's okay Ann....no worries. But I must say I enjoyed your post. Very much.
DeleteOh Anni! These photos are outstanding!
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped in to view them Misty Dawn!!! I loved your images of the heron too.
