    There is something sad about this abandoned crane. I’m so glad you and your camera found it.

    So cute, my kids always made origami cranes and anything actually. Me? I’m totally useless when it comes to that.

    The stones and ground are gray, all gray. The delicate and gentle crane stands out so forcefully, the small colors offer a brilliance to the gray. An artistic take!

    Like a rabbits foot
    once grand creature of God’s grace
    now in God’s good place

    You were fortunate to find this crane perched on the rocks.

    Thanks for the great Haiku about my daughter at the church picnic.

    I’m going to show it to her. 😉

    Happy belated Ruby Tuesday.

    Hello, Magical Mystery Teacher,
    “He who searches shall find”.
    You did indeed. I honor you for having eye for special details, where most would hurry past.
    Your beautiful haiku enhance the picture with a spiritual dimension.
