Morning Stretch

It’s important to get some exercise in. Many people like to do it early in the day when they’ve still got some energy to get it out of the way. I wonder if the wings get bigger each time she stretches her arms. It might be starting to split and she has to clip her wings on as sections. Her jacket pocket is the perfect size to store a passport in should she accidentally get caught in an airstream and blown to another country. She could be pinned already by the telegraph wires and is hanging from them. She’s about to start spinning vertically at any moment. The tinsel blends in with the hedge as well. The black spots might look like natural wood knots, but they could also be where bullets have hit the wings. She’s a target! Maybe she’s used to it and she does this every morning as part of a routine. She’s that fast that very few can catch her.
