White crane stands on one leg!
Any of you who do t’ai chi will be familiar with the expression but it wasn’t at all what I had in mind when I started this post. I was watching the BBC production “Earthflight”, and marvelling at the courtship dance of the Japanese white cranes. In a week in which me and the other half had been a bit frosty with each other, for reasons I won’t go into, this struck me as suitable material for my 6WS.
If only it were so simple! The images in my head did not match up to anything I could find on the wonderful web- “white cranes” resulted in the above image. The “Earthflight” website offered video footage, but not the right bit and no “stills”. Change of tactic called for. I found some gorgeous Dancing Cranes by Lucy Wang on YouTube but then realised I don’t have the facility to embed a video without an upgrade. Oh well- you live and learn! (slowly in my case- have a look on You Tube and think of me)
Just remains to give the other half a kiss and link to showmyface whose idea Six Word Saturday is. Come and play if you want? If not, I’ll see you next Saturday.
great 6WS! Dave has a FAB shot of a one-legged seagull – if that’s any use to you?!!! probably doesn’t sound as good though – Seagull instead of Crane?!!
glad you made it though! looking forward to the photo of you demonstrating the t’ai chi instead?! x
I like the way you think 🙂
Such a shame- I really did want to share the genuine thing with you all.
Happy Saturday! Glad you participated today!
That was good, now I am thinking of a real crane, LOL
Good one!
