"Freeing the Parrot"

"Freeing the Parrot"

Uploaded: January 06, 2006

Description

f/4.5, 1/160s, 34 mm, ISO 400. The original picture was taken at the Detroit Zoo and I will include it. I am imagining the parrot able to roam free and be safe and well cared for. So I have placed it in a new habitat at Silk Creek in Jordan NY where friends ewill be sure it is provided for. (Only in the photo!) I have transformed its life by giving it freedom, LOL.
