wings

A bird flew right into the light of the sun, and when it did, its wings were like flames or lightning. Maybe you can imagine it: look at the blue below, where the house is kindly shielding your eyes from the sun. Now imagine moving a little to the left, so the sun is just visible--and a bird is flying up there, and its wings have all the sun's brightness caught in the feathers.

sun in a blue sky

And speaking of wings--safe travels and best adventures to Little Springtime, off to the land of her birth, the land of the rising sun, for a year in a Japanese high school.

I've seen that, with birds. How lovely!

And I hope Little Springtime has a wonderful, wonderful year. She certainly looks ready for the adventure!

only until the bird spreads its wings can you see the light in them. like Little Springtime off on her adventure! What a wonderful opportunity! Congrats and best wishes to her. Hugs to the parents :)

Oh - what a wonderful description and picture! And can I offer you a back-pat for your wonderfully cheery sending off of Little Springtime? She does look very ready for a great year herself!

For the record, I love your children's nicknames.

I am wildly jealous of Little Springtime. =)

Bon Voyage

Very poetic and fitting that Little Springtime has spread her wings and flown the nest (albeit temporarily!) to travel back to her hatching grounds. :D

Best of luck and many happy adventures, Little Springtime!

What a lovely smile she has! Hope she travels safely and has a great time.

Not so little any more, eh, lovey?

Wow. Quite a journey. Congrats. Must be a little bit lonely for you though.

I bet you're worried about her.

Congrats to your daughter! I spent a year abroad in high school (Germany) and it shaped the person I am today perhaps more than any other experience in my life.

That would be pretty. <3

Oh, lots of love and good luck to her! I wish her a safe trip, and hope that her studies go well! :DD

Congrats to her for venturing off! She looks ultra confident and adventureful!

Woo! Hope she has a great time (and mom endures)!

What a wonderful news from you -- congratulations, and best wishes to Little Springtime! Where are my teen years? :)

At least I started Japanese class today... first step on the long journey!
