Artist's Comments

graceful animals, these ones

they come in once a year, stay for a few weeks and then disappear for another year

pity: wouldn't mind having them around for a while longer...

thanks!
I only get about three weeks in the year to take photos of these guys.

they come in spring, have the little chicks in the reserve down the road
and then disappear for another year. if the weather doesn't help, it's
a long time between photo opportunities...

was lucky on this day, light was just right and this fella was
"doing the lundry", so I had my chance.
