Vancouver Canada

Yesterday I went to Beautiful Stanley Park in Downtown Vancouver to take some pictures. Whilst taking pictures, a Beautiful Bird flew over my head and right in front of my camera and starting posing! It was the most beautiful thing! It kept flying around in front of me and posing almost like it was doing a show especially for me! After i had finished taking the pictures...drove a little further up, and low and behold my Husband said, babe look whos waiting for you! The same Bird was right there in front of us! I took some pictures and am posting them here today..Enjoy!
