The Big Dipper at 4:50 am this morning
Jake got me up to go out and hang out with Chupacabra and La Llorona in the wee hours of the morning. I got photos of the morning stars.
The Big Dipper, Orion’s Belt and Stars! Whoopee!
Dawn
Wow! Dawn makes me jump for joy!
Those colors are worth a bow
Black Cat Break
All right! A Black Cat Break!
Jake got stuck in the mosquito netting on his way out to watch the sunset.
Poor Jake! We’re jumping for him!
Woo Hoo! Look at those beautiful cranes in flight.
The Mountains are so beautiful! Look at all those towers!
Such pretty golds and oranges at dusk!
Off Center & Not Even 
Wonderful to see the cranes here again, and so active. Thanks for going out in the cold to capture them carrying on, now that they are settling into their winter home.
The cranes were really jumping around this morning. It was fun to watch. It only got down to 27 this morning. Jake loves the cold. Thanks, Susan.
Wow! The cranes do love jumping. They were fun to watch. Thanks!
Thanks, Nancy.
Wonderful images! The morning sunrise glow and the fall colors looks spectacular!
Gorgeous images with a dragon cloud crane in flight.
Dragon @Dawn Thanks, Cheyenne.
Well done Jake in getting you up! What a selection of enjoyable work you got together. Thanks.
Thanks, Inchy.
A grand job, Sir!
You have excelled yourself here, truly. Love the cranes
Aww!Thanks, Shey
Very welcome.
Whoopee indeed! Gorgeous skies, stars, and dancing cranes Tim.
Thanks, Brad.
The Cranes must have been taking dance lessons while they were away. Beautiful!
Love that cloud by my tree…the colour is incredible.
It’s so beautiful where you live. It doesn’t look droughty.
Black Cat Break… what a great name for a jazz piece or a coffee shop.
JAKE!!!!!
Cheyenne saw the dragon in the cloud by your tree. Bingo on Black Cat Break as a name for a jazz piece or coffee shop. Or it could be Black Cat Bingo! I have three black cats in a row. Or is that Tic-Cat-Toe? Thanks, Resa.
Yes… a dragon. Good eyes Cheyenne!
Bic-Bac-Boe?
They are amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Michele.
Autumn looks beautiful there, Tim. Full of color and life.
The colors are turning nicely this year. Thanks, Lavinia.
Good to see the cranes appreciate the fall beauty even as we enjoy their antics and dances! Jake’s situation and expression are perfect and hilarious – he just looks confused and surprised at getting caught in a net meant for mosquitoes 🦟 ☺️

Jake is as silly as the cranes. Thanks, LS.

That was wonderful.
Thanks, Gigi.
Oh my……the sky!
Thanks, Geoff.
Love this! The series of GIFs is beautifully rendered… a guiding “voice” for viewing more of the amazing skies and colors that seem to follow you whenever you step out. 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻! Cheers to dancing cranes.
I love watching the cranes dance. They seem weightless when they’re jumping. Thanks, Randall.
It’s fascinating to watch the crane dances. All the colors are beautiful.
They are so much fun to watch. Thanks, Rebecca.
