Evening view of snow textures on the lake after days of wind. Wanted to say thanks for your visits and have an enjoyable weekend.
These gulls are floating on the updraft created by north winds blowing up and over the Lake Erie shoreline.
It was a clear, crisp day on Ediz Hook, a natural sand spit that embraces the harbor of Pt. Angeles, WA. The seagulls were feeling social even though winds were ruffling their feathers.
"It was one of those March days, when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light and winter in the shade." ~ Charles Dickens

Take a gorgeous model, add an amazing gown and drop her in the field of gold on Whimberly and this is the result.
I know it's not my usual photo, but I hope you enjoy it.
When composing this shot, the various elements were in need of one additional item. The initial image contained the trees, their side lighting, the water and the reflections. It seemed good, but somewhat static. Then, as I felt a gentle breeze blow on me, it also touched the surface of the water and made the photo much more dynamic. The one missing element in this now complete picture, was the wind.
Finch patiently awaiting-resting to get his/her turn at the birdfeeder. Hang in there little one, very strong wind gusts today.
Wind Blown wind blew leaves around with some water drops, Prissy ran away and came right back, fascinated as usual, shot in North Carolina.
Finally getting back to the Gym after a lengthy absence.
Fortunately, I still have my “work-out” soundtrack on my phone, and Donovan sang “Catch the Wind” while I was working the machines... and thinking about a title for this Pic.
"Catch the Wind" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. "Catch the Wind" was released in 1965. The single reached No. 4 in the United Kingdom singles chart.

The Sandhill Crane:
These tall, gray-bodied, crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands, fields, and prairies across North America. They group together in great numbers, filling the air with distinctive rolling cries. Mates display to each other with exuberant dances that retain a gangly grace.
The Sandhill Crane’s call is a loud, rolling, trumpeting sound whose unique tone is a product of anatomy: Sandhill Cranes have long tracheas (windpipes) that coil into the sternum and help the sound develop a lower pitch and harmonics that add richness.
Sandhill Cranes are known for their dancing skills. Courting cranes stretch their wings, pump their heads, bow, and leap into the air in a graceful and energetic dance.
Although some start breeding at two years of age, Sandhill Cranes may reach the age of seven before breeding. They mate for life—which can mean two decades or more—and stay with their mates year-round. Juveniles stick close by their parents for 9 or 10 months after hatching.
The earliest Sandhill Crane fossil, estimated to be 2.5 million years old, was unearthed in Florida.
Sandhill Crane chicks can leave the nest within 8 hours of hatching, and are even capable of swimming.
The oldest Sandhill Crane on record was at least 37 years, 3 months old. Originally banded in Florida in 1982, it was found in Wisconsin in 2019.

I was tempted by the sky. Unfortunately I did neither have a tripod nor grey filters with me to capture the motion of the turbine blades. Next time ...
