Taking the long view...

Something about an ostrich on a grassy plain makes me think of a ship at sea.

Looks like an ostrich on a grassy plain to me . . and that is more than good enough to delight my senses. Truly wonderful shot.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thanks, Ronnie. It's they way they move that makes them look like ships, I think, their bodies stay very still and even and their legs are often hidden in the grass. So they seem to float. It's very lovely.
