Garden Shadows

While out to capture a photo, I had a sublime [to me] experience.
I heard the call of two sandhill cranes.  They were very close so
I "stalked" them.  They were feeding on a football field nearby.
I was amazed at how close I was able to creep.  They were feeding
on incects, but then to my amazement they went into their mating
dance.  I could not believe what I was seeing; but there they were,
putting on a performance for each other with me as an "amazed"
spectator.  They allowed me to get within thirty feet of them; there
i sat in the wet grass not believing what I was seeing.  It was a
sublime time with God, or so I felt!

Wouldn't you k now, my camera would not work so you will have to
just take my word for it!!!!
