We were getting ready to leave this morn when there was a knock on the door...this was what was being delivered. Don't you just love it! I love roses, but oh, how I love what they came in.
I will use it for years to come. Our older daughter sent this arrangement.

This evening on our way to the super Walmart, we ran through the strip pits. I was going through to see if we could see any owls, but first we saw these two whooping cranes!
I actually trespassed to get a little bit closer to them. But I did stop before I got to close because I was scaring them. I think if you enlarge them you can see that both legs of both birds seem to be banded.
These are not the greatest pictures but I am still glad to have gotten them.

We will be busy the next few days so will be blogging when I can. Not sure how often that will be.
Oh my goodness, Whooping Cranes! I think most people never see them, I have never. This is so special. And that beautiful vase, it is just awesome!!!

ReplyDeleteLOVELY roses!
ReplyDeleteI like the first photo of the cranes and the 'painterly' look of the images. It does look like both are banded and I wonder if not more than once.
Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!
Love the flowers and the bowl...how unusual and beautiful! And the whopping cranes....so neat! You are fortunate to see what so few people ever get to see.
