Fly Away Home

I was sitting in the yard the other day, when my neighbour let his pigeons out to fly. It seemed like a good day for few pictures, so I grabbed my camera.

These pigeons (or ones just like them) have been flying circles over my head for as long as I can remember. I am fond of them. They make me smile as I remember that, when I was younger, I did not know that they were homing pigeons. I thought they were wild birds and that everybody had a flock nearby to fly circles round their heads.
