MOVING ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE CARPENTERSVILLE DAM composed the monarch sipping nectarAs I watch this sandhill crane pass across the landscape in search of a meal, I can't help but notice how elegantly they move from one step to the next, a slow methodical rhythm that brings beauty to the prairie landscape. It's no wonder why cranes are revered world wide for their elegance. (426 564)
