I've never seen so many cranes in flight!

Thanks! Your description of their sound reminds me of hearing them in a pine swamp where they nested near my aunt and uncle's home out in the wilds near Ocean Springs, Mississippi when I was a kid. They were the now-endangered sub-species from that area, and I remember waking up early in the morning hearing their calls coming in through the window. We rarely saw them, just heard them, off in the swamp.

Maybe you can post the uncropped version as well just to give us an idea of the sheer quantity you witnessed. It doesn't have to count as an entry.

As for the pond...there is something in me that makes me want to do it, not only myself, but to dig it by hand--not that I can't request help with the largest rocks...I can, and I have...but all too often I'm too "stubborn and not waiting for help". How did you get to know me so well in such a short time?! ![]()

Dapjwy. I just saw a nice little feature that reminded me of your River, falls pond project.
I thought it would make for a good natural looking, Ahem.... starting point. It was a fiberglass reproduction of a half decayed log from which water flowed around and beneath. Perhaps you could incorporate a real one near its beginning by your window view along with the shrubs-grasses you've been toying around with.

Toward the end, it sounded like a combination of prehistoric and futristic! (well...some old science fiction show's computer sounds or something) ![]()

So far, I plan to have some large rocks with water coming from behind and underneath...so that is right up my alley. (Cute "gentle push" too, I might add.)

You caught that ha?
![]() You're about as good at starting that project as I am about getting a camera. ![]() I do not have a link so to speak as it was at a local store... I'll do a comp. search to see if I can find it.
