A Sandhill Crane Artistic Rendition

While here in Florida on vacation, I wanted more than anything to photograph two birds that would be adds to my “lifer” list. One was the Sandhill Crane which I excitedly posted on previously.

One of my followers who is also a WP blogger, Sharon of Sharon Mann Illustrations requested to paint one of my posted captures which I was thrilled to say yes! I just received it and couldn’t wait to post it for you to see!

Here are mine and her versions. 🙂

Isn’t he gorgeous!!!! I also love the amazing background; it gave a wonderful, dreaminess to the Sandhill Crane as he ponders his next move.

Thank you very much, Sharon! Your painting is absolutely stunning!! ❤

  I’ll never forget those two Sandhill Cranes walking right by me while I sat on the ground and giving me the opportunity to get these captures! 🙂
