haha, thank you for your kind visit dear friend, I had to trim her down by 30 % nearly as I could not post. so the outer feathers and a few more details got cut-off. I didn't know there was character limit in PS till I posted this one! Now my adult crane looks like a colt! but did you check on the quote? story behind the quote is inspiring. thanks again dear poet. cheers!!!
