Shall We Dance?

It is wonderful to watch the Japanese cranes pair up then curtsy, jump, bow, twirl, turn...

And after the dance they raise their long necks to the sky, open their beaks and cry out in song- The male one melody, and the female another -sounding like a harmonious trumpet tune.

It really is difficult describing these elegant mating dance performances.

Typing these words makes me feel like I have 'two left hands'!

Enjoy the photos!
