  3. Beautiful little flying machines. They always were my inspiration as a writer, making me feel like a sparrow tale-teller wanting to become a Peregrine Falcon narrating stories as it rides the azure space!!

    Lovely sight when they fold their wings and drop into a diving fall as a fast arrow coming down from the hand of Zeus!

    Pity it must be a bird of prey!!! Oh, well, nobody is perfect!

    Thank you, Auntie for your beautiful post!!
