Wind Star   The falcon in flight holds a fascination for me.   One brief exception to this was while training a falcon several years ago to chase a lure that I was swinging around my head.   The falcon stooped to strike the lure, but miscued and flew into my face, knocking me to the ground!    Fortunately, we both had a beautiful recovery from this accident and the experience never intrudes on my enjoyment of falcons – or my long standing love of sculpting them.    (next sculpture)
