Story & Experience

My friend Shelley and I went to a fracking site just west of a housing development in Erie, CO, and offered prayers for healing the earth and the people nearby and then created our bird. The photo is of the head with the two bushy wings out to the sides and wild tail feathers behind. This is our second year of participating.
