I am indulging in a bit of childhood nostalgia with this image. Young girls have a tendency towards unicorns, pegasus and everything whimsical.
Here in my grown up version, the alternate name "Taking Flight" suggests that he is an icon of readiness, confidence, and following ones dreams. Onward!

Image tip: if you click enlarged images and they do not appear enlarged, if you have Windows XP or higher, hover your
mouse over the very bottom right corner of the image until you see a small square pop up that says "expand
to regular size"click that and the image will enlarge.

I invite you to read more about this image and comment on it at my arts & animation blog here.
