#cranes

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

Right now, the Sandhill Cranes are moving back to fields adjacent to the Platte River. At and just after sunset, they'll fly from those fields into the Platte to overnight. I watched them last Monday & Tuesday evening, and it was mighty impressive. We're past peak, but you can still see and hear flocks fly in the distance. It should get better around 8pm CDT. I'll post some of my own vids from last week soon. In the meantime, #CraneCam is good to watch right after sunset when the cranes come in; and just after sunrise when they slowly leave the river.

#TilesOnTuesday :
Earthenware Tile, c. 1875
Design by CHRISTOPHER DRESSER (British, 1834-1904)
Manufactured by MINTON (British, Stoke-on-Trent)
On display at Metropolitan Museum of Art (1991.110.2)
“Highly stylized and executed in a striking blue and white, Dresser's elegant design captures his dedication to the study of Japanese decorative arts. The bright moon behind the dancing #cranes creates an otherworldly, almost mystical atmosphere.”
