Spread Your Wings and Fly

During my visit to Bosque Del Apache we got lucky with a morning of snow. It started snowing right after we left the motel and continued most of the morning. It was fantastic.

I photographed this sequence that I thought was quite interesting. Notice the grace and elegance of the movements your eye just can't capture.

The Sandhill Cranes often walk a ways then straighten their long necks and lean forward just before taking off. It's a good indication something is about to happen.
























I just love the details you see when you're able to freeze action like this.
