Description
I was shown a fledgling learning to fly. Its first efforts were very feeble. But as it used its wings more and more, they became stronger until it found the freedom of flight and was able to soar to great heights and fly great distance without any effort.
I heard the words; Faith comes with practice. Live by faith until it becomes rock like, unshakable and find the true freedom of the spirit.

I love robins! I didn't know that baby robins looked like this, as until now our garden is only visited by a grown-up robin, which is nevertheless pretty cool! It's the same one every day, makes me bright up when I spot him/her.

They are great little birds and quite territorial so you do see the same ones regularly

Although this little fellow had been 'roughed up' by our cats, it is surprising just how unlike the adult 'red robin' they are

This photo reminds me of young blackbird I found in our garden years ago:

They do leave themselves open to danger but I suppose it's a very steep leaning curve where a mistake is often fatal Hope your blackbird made it as well...

Yes, they do.
I hope so, but I guess I'll never know if he made it.
