I had the best nap this afternoon! We spent the late morning walking through the woods on the Oakland Preserve boardwalk looking for interesting flora and fauna. It's a beautiful day, warm but not hot or humid. Cloudy enough for good photo moments here and there. When we returned home, I spent some time at the computer cropping the photos I took. When I was done I could hardly keep my eyes open. I joined our 20 pound cat, Murray, on the bed where he did his best to keep me awake.
Finally he calmed down and I fell asleep. I had a fun dream about a genealogy search wherein I found a 19th century settler I had been looking for (in the dream, not in real life). Name, dates of birth and death, etc., but when I woke up I forgot the particulars.
There are a couple of sandhill cranes that have a nest around the holding pond that still has some understory, at the end of our development. The other day we heard they had a baby. On our way home today we stopped and sure enough, there they were. That baby sure is adorable.
O my goodness! What a sweet family scene (-:
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that little bitty baby will one day be a huge sandhill crane. Those are great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat baby is so little!
ReplyDeleteLove those cranes. We are on the migratory flight path of the Sandhill Cranes that next north of us. I look forward to seeing and hearing them every May. Their call is so distinctive and wonderful to hear.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to live near these graceful birds.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice walk, Colette! It's so nice to see that family of cranes with their baby. Thanks for sharing that!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Fortunately sandhill cranes are pretty good parents, as birds go.
