How many ways can you say AWESOME?

What a wonderful visit to the refuge today!  The gate is now shut for breeding season, so Murph and I wandered around a meadow for a while, then went over to the heron rookery to see what was happening. On the way over there, we 'happened' upon  a pair of sandhill cranes and the male was doing his mating dance.  I am going to put the sequence into a video - but here are a couple of frames.
Then the herons were neat, the teasels were beautiful, Murphy is so handsome and - well, it went on and on! Enough words and let's see the photos!
