Weekly Photo Challenge: Delicate
I’ll stick with the Sandhill Cranes for todays challenge. Â I think they fit nicely for two reasons. Â They seem to have these large bodies and wings which have to be supported by very delicate, thin legs. Â The second reason is the incredibly delicate coordination they exhibit while flying and especially while landing. Â This photo shows two cranes landing in amazing ballet synchronization.

Delicate…I’ll say it gives a new meaning to the concept of NOT tripping over each other lol

AAU- it is amazing that they don’t trip each other up – although you do occasionally see them take a quick hop to avoid contact….

What an outstanding photo of (I think) my favorite bird. I’ve only seen them a few times – and there’s such a mix of delicacy and strength there, isn’t there? Beautiful! (Got here from windagainstcurrent)

Glad to be able to highlight you favorite bird! They are really fun to watch!
