a few closeups before setting him free
atrahamrepol:
what a beauty
atrahamrepol:
bright and fresh and new

newly pumped up, bright and fresh colors

on his way to freedom

on the way outside

heading for the butterfly bush
atrahamrepol:
first taste of freedom
atrahamrepol:
flapping wings just before taking off

and he flies away free...
