I lost my way among the fall foliage and
Farm/Art DTour last week. Although I didn't pour over maps and color code them with a pile of markers (this time), I did part with $5 bucks for the official map which I got at
Viking Village Foods in Reedsburg, possibly another performance piece.

| Yes, indeedy, those are two people dressed as whooping cranes |
I took these Saturday which was only partly gloomy. These whooping crane women made it a whole lot sunnier.
 |
| La la la la la, daaaancing |
 |
| Dance like you're dressed like a whooping crane and everyone is watching |
 |
Huh?
|
 |
| Hoping there's a coffee break coming up soon |
 |
| Starts the sping in Necedah, winters in Florida |
 |
| I half expected them to start smoking. Cigarettes, although they were moving around pretty quickly |
 |
| Time to migrate the hells outta here |
This guy got in more shots than the performers.
How fun. I would have loved to have seen this. Beautiful fall colors too.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ♥
It was a hoot or a whoop or something. Just about everyone left with a smile on their face and it was loaded with crane facts.
DeleteWell, Halloween is coming so they're all set!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to see what you guys made of all this, Brian.
DeleteThat is hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this...I may have to Google this to find out more.

It's part of a larger festival but this sort of thing is what I go to see, Lisa.
DeleteI love it! What a fun thing to do. Maybe I need a costume when I do open mic in December.
ReplyDeleteAnd I want to see it! Tell me more about your open mic gig.
DeleteThat's if this place in town still has open mic the first Friday in December. Doesn't matter, I'll find an open mic somewhere in December. That's one of the things I'm giving myself to do for my 65th birthday. he he.
DeleteAre you singing or doing stand-up?
DeleteDon't know yet. Definitely not singing unless I turn it into stand-up. Details to come, as they formulate.
DeleteYou gotta get the hubster to record it, whatever you do. I got up and sang a Commander Cody song with my roommate at a bar once. Funny, I didn't realize I knew the words. Maybe I didn't and reality is different from what I remember. A whole lotta things that I never done but I never ain't had too much fun...
DeleteThat's what I call grand!
DeleteWhat a fun event--complete with cane hands...lol Someday I'd like to witness a real whooping crane migration. They land in SW, Colorado and then fly on to Kearney, Nebraska every spring.
ReplyDeleteWe get the same sandhill cranes every year, well I guess it's the same mates but there are always two crane kids with them. I'd like to be a GoPro on them.
DeleteThat is hilarious! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteIt was all kinds of amusing, Kelleyn.
DeleteThanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteWhoop, honk.
DeleteOh this made me laugh!! I wonder if those big cranes are going to go South .. I'll look for them at Upriver when we get there (at our 'trailer park' where we sometimes spot the smaller version of snadhills 0.
ReplyDeleteI think they both need a break after repeated shows in a chilly field (:. These were whooping cranes, but keep an eye out for my neighbors, they sandhills and with the radical dip in temps maybe they've left. It's about that time, isn't it?
DeleteSounds like a fun event - cranes are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's ten days long and always a plus when you catch a pasture performance.
DeleteToo funny! Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't help but smile at this performance, Lady F.
DeleteThat's weird, great pictures-trees are turning here too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's past peak now.
Deletewell that was different! Can't say as whooping cranes were ever on my radar, but you know I love a flamingo, so big birds of a feather! Was there a song to go with the mating dance? "Whoop! there it is?" LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteThere were whooping crane noises so I suppose it was a song, LA. Ha, there it is all right. Hilarious but a bit chilly. I'm more of a sandhill crane kinda girl considering our crane family neighbors.
DeleteHi Jeanna, this has to be one of the funniest things ever! It's not as if there were school children to watch the display, all I can see are adults. How the nesting stork kept a straight face I don't know, and the resemblance is uncanny.
ReplyDeleteThank you for making me laugh and linking up with #keepingitreal
xx
Thanks, Deb. I don't recall seeing many kids there, lol. I saw some snickers (not the candy but yum) under those masks. It was literally a hoot.
