Well, I love this! My daughter wanted 1000 paper cranes for her wedding and I folded most of them. I used to be able to do them in my sleep practically! I still have bags of them around the house. I put a few on my Christmas tree every year :-)

Hi Mary!
Nice picture with lots of atmosphere! I should learn how to fold these paper cranes! Lots of my students can make them very quickly!
Thanks for stopping in at my blog earlier!You asked about the picture in the header (Calgary Daily Photo)... the full picture is here:

Beautiful crane in monochrome and a great symbol, too! Have a great week, Mary.

A sweet crane and a beautiful photo of it. I have a bit of an obsession with paper peace cranes. I'm always folding them!
