Crane Cuties

I was beginning to think that I was not going to get to see any sand hill crane babies this year. I had checked two of my familiar spots, and found nothing.

But, after hitting a couple of garage sales...we were heading to an art show. I cried out...slamming on the brakes...unable to put together any words.

"Ooh...ooh...ooh!!"

"What?"

"Uh...uh...uh!!"

"What is it?"

Finally...words came. "Babies...babies...babies."

I had to shoo one of the parents (probably Dad) and one of the babies away from the busy street.

"What are you thinking? Get that kid away from the traffic!!"

He did. I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked...thinking that I was making the young family uncomfortable. But...so cute.

I put 4 other crane pictures on my FLICKR PAGE. Tell me if you like any of them better than this one.
