I had only just bought myself my first digital camera for my 50th birthday 8 days before I went hiking at Lapham Peak State Park and this family of sandhill cranes flew directly overhead. I knew it would be a long shot that I had all the settings on it correctly programmed, but I snapped away in hope. There they are…
…and there they go….
Of course, three is a magic number. We all learned that from Schoolhouse Rock, didn’t we?

Great photos Scilla 🙂 Especially the cranes and the tall ship 🙂
Thanks! Couldn’t resist putting my three daughters in there, just for sentimental reasons.
I don’t blame you for that, they will be your best ‘trio’ by a long way 🙂
Nice series, Scilla. A terrific first try with you new gear!
Sheer luck! But a great omen. 🙂
Great bird shots, scillagrace. Love the patterns they make in the sky. Good going!
Cranes are so long and graceful, to me. Thanks for your visit!
Couldn’t be more perfect. I love cranes.
They are elegant and graceful.
