Sandhill Crane Family

My niece, desertsand, has gone back home. I so rarely get to have her all to myself for a visit. We talked and talked and talked. Now that she's gone I have so many things left unsaid, running through my head.

--but wait! --and--!!! and then... oh and I almost forgot...

It was a short visit with a couple days of rain. But we got out too. Headed off to Bone Valley, we saw a pair of sandhill cranes with a chick, browsing about by the side of the road. They let us get pretty close for a bit while desertsand took their pictures.

Then they decided they'd had enough. They hopped over a fence and went down a limerock drive. They showed us their backs and a "No Trespassing" sign for good measure.
