A crane motionless
Stands in water on one foot
Folds its wings just so

Very nice! My first thought was that it read like a translation from ink characters.
Beaucoup Haiku!

That is a strange thing to say about it, but I'm glad you "found" yourself to the point you realized what it was. Heh.Heh Thanks, Lori, very good to see you.

Enjoyed the haiku and the photo, Jerry.  Do you know what kind of crane that is?  It is one we don't have here.

No Owl, I don't know the name of it, and I'm not positive it is, in fact, a crane. I ripped it from the Internet because it looks like one.
