Cranes in the Hood

Sandhill Cranes Overhead

I was taking my daily telescopic photos of the sun when I heard the distinctive rattling trill of cranes. The sun and scopes just had to wait while I scanned the sky for my feathered friends. Shortly they came into view high above the trees and began circling overhead in the rising air currents. Then they set their course and sailed away leaving nothing behind but a memory and a smile.
