Title borrowed from Frank Zappa again. This is what I saw after climbing the sand hill featured in Run Home Slow

This is the smooth rich red sands of the Hay River located in the wilderness area of the North Simpson Desert. / Seasonal rains create flash floods, brining life to the desert… a ribbon of life that runs from NT near Jervios through the heart of the Simpson, on toward Poepell corner near the QAA line which is normal desert crossing to Birdsville / A very rare scene experience only by a few travellers.

I traveled to visit my parents today, they have a lovely piece of property in the middle of nowhere, Florida. I was lamenting over the very overcast day, but decided to take the walk down to the lake with my camera anyway. And what should I find, to my surprise, a pair of Sandhill Cranes with a newly hatched little one! I was so thrilled! The mother crane kept leaning down to check on her little hatchling…it was so lovely! Sandhill Cranes are thought to be the oldest surviving bird species in the world. The Florida Sandhill (Grus canadensis pratensis), which is one of the non-migratory species, is severely threatened due to unregulated hunting in the past, and currently due to development and loss of habitat. Sandhill Cranes are huge birds, they stand at least 4 feet tall and have a wingspan of up to 7 feet. Sandhill cranes feed on a large assortment of grasses, roots, berries, and tubers, as well as insects, crayfish, frogs, snakes, and small mammals. This species of crane mates for life. I was so happy to see that these cranes have chosen a bit of space on my family’s property to call home More Sandhill Family: More Photography: /

I don’t usually shoot landscapes. They don’t usually appeal to me, so this sand dune at sunset is something entirely new to my portfolio. I would appreciate any comments and constructive criticism. I love the patterns that the wind makes on the sand. Every time I go to this place there are different patterns depending on the weather

Sharp sandhill ridges and patterns form with wind action on the soft smooth sands of the Simpson Desert Australia

The best place in the world to be in March: The Platte river near Gibbon, Nebraska when the Sandhill cranes migrate. Every evening they fly in – hundreds of thousands – to roost on the sandbars in the shallow river. In the morning, at dawn, they will lift off in unison. It is one of the greatest spectacles, and sounds I’ve witnessed.

I spent a night in a photo blind at the edge of the Platte river in order to photograph the Sandhill cranes. The birds are very wary and this was one way to hopefully get a better vantage point as they came in to roost in the evening. I was discouraged at first that the night of my reservation proved to be very cloudy and by the time the majority of the birds had come to rest on the sandbars it was mostly dark. Determined to go away with whatever I could get, I set my camera for a longer shutter speed and was really pleased to capture both the motion of the current and the slow graceful movements of the birds as they preened and waded in the shallow water. / /

This is another version of Smith Falls on the Niobrara River in Nebraska. You don’t find a lot of waterfalls on the prairies but this one is worth pulling over for.

Fences used to stop erosion of coastal dunes

The soft “live tops” of the sandhills in the Simpson Desert. / Around 1,100 sandhills(often over 200km long) are spaced roughly half a km apart with a spinefex valley between and cover the Simpson Desert from east to west….we have crossed almost every one.

Today after work I went looking for Osprey’s and of course did not find them, so I jumped over this reservoir fence and found these 2 Sandhill Cranes grazing. Sat on them for an hour and they did not fly, hence the title. But for awhile I felt they were waiting for me to fly away…LOL

After seeing Sandhill Cranes bedding down in this creek regularly, my wisdom was that they would arrive on Lennard road right before sundown, and I was right and fired off several captures, however I was surprised to find others there waiting just like me. And I thought I was the smart one…LOL Port Saint Lucie, Florida USA
