I love that shade of blue, just gorgeous. That’s amazing how you captured the bird in flight. They almost look to big to fly! lol

Very clean, there’s nothing to distract from the crane. Great shot!

Absolutely lovely shot! I’ll never forget when I first saw these birds. My husband & I were visiting my bro’s family in Florida. While out for a walk, we saw what we thought were 2 statues…then they moved!
