Happy holidays, everyone. This is probably the last from my recent Bosque trip. I shot this on a breezy day at the Farm Loop extension. Full frame, larger image included.

Hi Bill: Classic Crane pose kiting down for a landing. I like the wispy clouds in the background as well. Nicely captured.

Wonderful lighting and detail on the crane, especially the wings. Almost as good as being there.
