Sandhill cranes...

We went down to Goose Pond today...nothing much at all on the ponds, but we know to go east of there and look in the farming area.

They were far away, and it was a gray day...so not the greatest photos.  Add to that the fact that I had trouble with holding steady....I was in the middle of a narrow road so didn't even attempt to get tripod out.

Still it was fun seeing and hearing them...

I love watching them come in for a landing...

So much fun to see.

We also saw:

They were way up in the sky.  We didn't know what they were...was pretty sure they were not Canada geese.

This is one I zoomed in a bit...notice in the first photo, they just look like dark birds.  But as you can see if you click on this, they are snow geese.

Waiting for spring...

After all the dark, dreary days I have been going through my photos.  Lingering just a bit extra on blue-skied, sunny days.  Looking with longing at colorful flowers.

I know if it came a big snow that I would get all excited...I just cannot help myself.  I love how snow makes things new again. 

But right now, give me some warmer weather, and a cup of coffee on the front porch.  Is anyone else anxious for some sunshine and warmth?

Going back in time...2014

 I was looking through things and came across these videos of Lorelei taken in 2014.  I had totally forgotten them.


I hope you enjoy them even half as much as we did....



She has the moves...



I wish you could have heard Roger....he is definitely feeling better.  He says she is going to love me when she is a teen-ager.  I have a feeling she will be like her mom and not really care too much.
