What’s Up<\/h3>\n

The sun finally came out this morning and the baby cranes were great. A couple is coming from Sarasota tomorrow (FRI 29 MAR) for a morning crane session, and blog regular Donnette Largay is coming up to ILE from Palm Beach on Saturday for an afternoon and a following morning instructional session; she needs help with setting up her Canon gear and getting sharp images.<\/p>\n

I am still free for Gatorland on Saturday morning if there is a taker. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n
