Was this by chance taken in your yard? That fence in the background looks alot like the one where you took a pic of your daughter jumping it to meet her boyfriend. Alright I am off track here! This shot is cool in that you were able to get a close up capture and with it in motion. great job

pjflan7, Yes these cranes come back every year to our place. That is the fence my daughter jumped. It is so neat they come right there as we sit in the yard. We have 4 of them. I like to say thanks for all the replys too.
