Cut and Run

Our transition to Sedona was supposed to happen on Monday, but with a forecast of snow there, we have decided to move it up a day because, as it so happens, the house there is vacant and waiting for us and the owner is amenable.  Tomorrow will be packing, errands and a short hike.

So today was a last visit to the cranes where I tried to focus on the wider spectacle - and a visit to downtown Lowell - a part of town on the lip of the open pit mine which houses the props for the Broken Spoke Saloon of Daytona and Sturgis fame.

But first Harley and I went for a walk up above OK street. but I can't post the photo because the phone and the computer are not talking....


Then to the Cranes:

 The opening act - a mess of ducks spooked by a hawk.

Then the cranes came in.... There was nothing then as if a switch had been flipped the sky was filled with large birds.

 Today the wind was such so they landed facing us.

 

As we left - It's not easy being green.

 He did not go gently into that dark gullet.

Lowell - a bit different.

 and across the street ....
