It's not over ..

bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2011/08/02/environmentalis... Please read the call for Gov. Beshear to halt the Sandhill Crane hunt ! It is back in the hands of the Commonwealth of Kentucky .. - why do these SHC have to be killed, excuse me .. the politically 'correct word' is harvest - if they are to be hunted and killed .. that is not a 'harvest' - if you disagree with me, no problem - we are all different & that's what makes this a magnificent place - how boring if we all were alike ! - but, go read the Bluegrass Politics story about the Sandhill Cranes anyhow !

- my 1st pair of Sandhill Cranes - what a thrill to watch them .. oblivious to traffic going by and me watching their every move - really understand how excited people get when seeing them for the 1st time now - have no idea how many photos were taken - it was a moment to be remembered - once you see and are able to photograph one of these elegant Wonders of Nature - you will be changed within © All rights reserved
