A View from A Deer Blind

We sat in a deer blind one evening hoping to see some critters while watching the sunset. No critters were to be seen except hawk-chasing crows and a lone crane at the edge of the field.

Sun lit tree line.

It was a little breezy that evening but somehow

the bending limbs of the tree on the left makes it looks like

as if there was a strong wind and the crane with its

neck leaning forward was trying

to wade with the wind on its face.

The same crane with fall foliage on the background.

Note: The pictures were taken with a long lens and very high ISO; the bird was about 150 yards / 150 m from us, at 5.24 pm (after sunset) thus the blurriness on the pictures.
