Sun Damaged Sanity - Sandhill Cranity


The sunny, warm weather - better than I can remember at all last summer - has my mind unable to focus much on blogging or anything mental for that matter. So here's a picture from Dennis Zaki's Alaska Report (with his permission.) I was going to post the Snow Geese he had up yesterday, but they are gone and not yet in his galleries. So enjoy the crane.

For a wonderful book that uses sandhill cranes as its metaphoric theme, check out Richard Power's The Echo Maker. The link takes you to an old post on the book with some quotes on the cranes and a description on how the fit into his main topic which has to do with the human brain. A commenter came up with a much better title than I had for the post - Cranes and Brains.
