Welcome everyone. This is Round 141 of the Show Me A Photo or SMAP Contest hosted by . Check out the contest post here. Hope you can join us in the fun soon.
The theme for this week is:
FREE THEME
I always love this Free Theme weeks because I can post photos of any Feathered Friend I like without any restrictions. I am sort of handicapped a bit when it comes to pictures of birds because I only have a low end cell phone to capture these fleeting creatures and getting a clear shot at point blank distance is close to impossibility. But Free Theme gives me the leeway to show photos of birds, even as majestic as our national bird, the Philippine Eagle even if it is only painted on a wall. Behold, the eagle in street art form.
The Philippine eagle, also known as the monkey-eating eagle or great Philippine eagle, is a critically endangered species of eagle of the family Accipitridae which is endemic to forests in the Philippines. Wikipedia
It also happens to be the national bird of our country, the Philippines. Numerous artists have painted this majestic Feathered Friend. It has been featured in countless articles, exhibits and magazines. In fact, one of the biggest insurance company in our country, Insular Life, has changed its logo to the Philippine Eagle. Speaking of artists, my daughter also made a painting of this eagle using colored pencil. I have in posts past featured this art piece but for those who have not seen it, here it is.
And here's a photo of the real thing.
