I had some backyard visitors the other day and remembered to actually grab my camera and take pictures. However, I then promptly forgot they were on my camera, so here they are. I'm not sure what kind of cranes they are -- perhaps someone out there can enlighten me. I was just amazed that they stayed there while I was practically right next to them clicking away. I thought for sure once I walked toward them they would fly away. I do know they travel in pairs (one male, one female). God's creatures are just so beautiful and inspiring.
