Birds following an Ultralight? This scene somehow made me think of Ace Ventura (classic Jim Carrey by the way) and all his wacky attempts to blend in among the animals.

The pilots of these ultralights never speak and are always dressed in their all white outfits when around the birds.

Its serious business though as these pilots and ultralights are reeducating these Whooping Cranes about the business of migrating south (to Texas!) for the winter. With their population dwindling, many young cranes are left without adult cranes to take them on their 1st Migration South.That’s where these pilots, silent and dressed in all white, in.

Wow.

Don’t you just love the feel of used book stores? 

The eclectic collections of worn out pages

almost symbolises our ability to pass on knowledge (no matter how obscure) from generation to generation

Rummaging & hoping for that find that will make it all worthwhile

My nugget for the day was a decades old copy of “Winnie the Pooh“
