Unexpected sighting

Last Friday as I was driving to work I saw two Sandhill Cranes.

They were just standing on the side of the roadway.  I wanted to get a picture of them so badly and was attempting to pull over.  However, I didn’t have the camera with me, just my cell phone.  My cell takes good pictures, but I would have been too far away to get a decent shot.  I pictured myself, dressed in my uniform, trying to get as close to the birds as I could without spooking them…..and decided it wasn’t worth it.  It was the first time, outside of a zoo, that I have seen a crane.  Not even sure I have seen one at the zoo.  They are really, really tall and magnificent.

A Note From Abroad

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sailaway from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain
