Delightful movement!
There is something so appealing about Diving bears.
Balancing on a front paw requires incredible strength, power and awareness of one's body in space.
But, with his head held high, I think Flight Lieutenant is more a "flying" not a "diving" bear.
The wind lifts him up, higher and higher.
The black stone is freckled with subtle patches of dark brown adding to Flight Lieutenant's realistic style.
Charming.
