Beautiful photograph, almost strangely disturbing in some ways. I like this new style of presentation with the combination of image, words and distinctive typography. A new set of cards in the offing?

Thanks so much Tess, I love the feedback. I have been imagining a series like this in my mind for some time now and finally the inspiration has come through to create them. I am definitely considering some cards and the best way to get them printed, but will experiment a bit more with the images first until I get a satisfying series.

Thanks for all of your beautiful winged images. They took my breath away,
even without the poetry. At the same time, the poetry adds so much.
I’d love a set of cards with both. May you continue to soar. Carol
