This beautiful bird was standing beside the pathway, I had been warned not to get to close, as it is mating season and these birds can shred a human body in about 10 min, they have claws as sharp and skilled as an eagle's talon. As I took this shot, the male came up behind me but to my delight was the perfect gentleman and let me photo both him and is mate. Cranes mate for life and the mating dance is much like that of 2 humans dancing, you have to see it to believe it. Taken at Ladner, B.C.

Artist Reply: Thanks so much Sarah!! Glad you like it :) Did you see the shot of the baby one I have? A bit younger then the one you took, they are so adorable.
