Sandhill Crane.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles are browner and have no red on head. Their plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska to the Hudson Bay and south into western Ontario. There are isolated populations in: the Rocky Mountains, the northern prairies, the Great Lakes, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida.

We tried to use even the last hours we spent in Cappadocia so I and my son hiked a few hours in the morning and we found some amazing examples of troglodyte architecture and rock formations. And still there are so many valleys and ridges to explore the next time!
Taken for Our Daily Challenge Group: isolated.
This is a large field behind my house and right in the middle of it is this one lonely tree. This morning we had an ice fog which made this poor tree look even more lost in its surroundings.
Left alone by ebbing tide—
salt scars and barnacles on old wood
Gulls cry through the wind’s silence,
ghosts of surf and tides gone by.
Isolated.
A single magnolia blossom, in perfect bloom. I went to the New York Botanical Garden to catch some hint of spring this beautiful Sunday afternoon, while still maintaining "social distance" in the outdoor gardens. The greenhouse and Orchid Show were closed, which made sense, and the gardens were blissfully peaceful. I just felt that I had to go there today. Tonight I learned that they, too, closed their gates indefinitely as of 6 P.M., along with the NYC schools, museums, Broadway shows, and libraries, which includes my job. Nobody knows for how long, or what will come next. One photo a day. (75/366) New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx, NYC -- March 15, 2020
While sitting in the hostess area for a table to clear I observed this senior starring at the floor for several minutes waiting on his friend so they could leave. No smiling, no looking up, a feeling of sadness. Whether we want to admit it or not the past 2 years has taken a toll on most of us. In this image there is no evidence of happiness from anyone.
Frosty but clear morning with winter sunshine. Lovely to be able to have a walk round the village without the wind or rain!

Penultimate image in my theme for this week Isolated Object. Soaring Buzzard high in the sky i Somerset, UK.
Number 2 in my theme for this week Isolated Object. In a previous 365 series I found this abandoned workman's boot on a grass verge in Peacehaven, East Sussex, UK.
With a lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series
called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.
I met up with my son for a socially distanced walk around the lake at UEA (University of East Anglia). It was wonderful to see him, but bizarre to have to keep 2 metres away.
The photo is taken outside the Sainsbury Centre art gallery, with sculptures in the foreground. The Building are some of the UEA ziggurats which are student accommodation blocks that were build at the same time as the University. They are now listed.
Two of Pretty Boy's progeny sit on a fallen branch, waiting for mom to arrive with food (see previous post). A third was nearby, either up in a tree or in a ditch across the road. These cute, baby mountain bluebirds fledged two or three days prior to my getting this shot. They could fly, but were still fairly clumsy. At one point, the two siblings shifted down the branch, with one trying to land on top of the other.
