Learning To Fly

            Learning To Fly
Tom Petty

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly (learning to fly) but I ain't got wings (learning to fly)
Coming down (learning to fly) is the hardest thing (learning to fly)

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God-knows-where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds
But what goes up (learning to fly) must come down

Went down to Bonny Vale near Bundeena this morning to shoot a tree in water.
It was totally fenced off, as there was a lot of work going on there for some reason or another.
So, I continued on my walk in the dark, and ventured onto the mudflats and the mangroves.
I started to shoot some tree reflections using my new Sony 70-200 G lens, when a flock of cockatoos flew into the frame. I was on a slight slow shutter speed, and didnt have time to up the shutter to freeze the action, but I'm surprisingly happy with this fluke results.

Hope you like "Learning To Fly"

Cheers, Mike
