Can have many meanings and connotations, and fall
at any time in one's life,be you young or old; freedom
is how you can live your life being yourself.
It could also mean: being lucky enough to be standing in the right place andright time to capture this image seen here. There is deep poetic familiarity inthe simplest of motivations. Freedom is also a thing we
once dreamt of while too often succumbing to thedesires of others. Today is the best time for people old or young in our communityto be proud of the life they lead. Freedom is something granted and now is thetime to be proud to be a beautiful and natural part of the Suffolk countryside.
