Thank you for all of this, particularly the images of the cranes, and your beautiful, evocative poem about them. Glorious 💚

I’m really happy you liked it. Don’t they sound incredible? (Though the sound is not great as it was super windy on that day.) we are planning on going to the lake again the week after next.
