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.
On a windswept hill by a billowing sea, my destiny sits and waits for me.

Thank you for posing Taboo
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.
I've been trying to photograph tiny spiral vines for years and could never get the right focus, but, while on a photo shoot at the Bloedel Conservatory last week, I think I finally got it.
The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.

Just a small portion of the 1000's of Trumpeter Swans and some ducks. They were startled as I approached. This is a tiny section of the flock spread over two large flooded farm fields divided by a road.

Taken in October 2020 on a K&F Concept workshop. An exceptionally low tide at New Brighton of 0.6m meant we could make the mile or so walk out to the wreck of the SS Denham.
We were blessed with superb conditions with some wonderful cloud cover with breaks in between. As the light faded we turned our attention to the wind farm in Liverpool Bay. Thoroughly enjoyable and I think we all managed to forget about Covid for a few hours.
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.
