Witness the beauty of nature's fleeting moments in these captivating snapshots. A Sandhill crane gracefully tends to its colts, a sight rarely seen in the wild. In the heart of Florida, this majestic bird nurtures its young with unwavering dedication. Watch as it delicately feeds one of its colts a dragonfly, providing sustenance for their growth and survival. The cycle continues as the diligent crane rebuilds its nest, meticulously arranging twigs and grass to create a safe haven for its precious offspring. With each squat back onto the nest, it guards against any potential threats that may lurk nearby. Peeking out from beneath protective feathers, a one-day-old colt emerges into the world under the watchful eye of its parent. Together they remain on their ephemeral pool-like nest - an oasis amidst the vast wilderness. As time passes, both colts grow stronger and more curious about their surroundings. They explore their temporary home while never straying too far from their devoted guardian. In another part of our diverse planet lies an enchanting scene by Lakeside in Oregon. An ephemeral pool reflects the sky above like a mirror - a momentary masterpiece that will soon vanish without trace. Returning to Florida once again, we witness an extraordinary display of parental care as a Sandhill crane carries its baby on its back. This tender bond exemplifies love and protection within nature's realm. These glimpses into nature's ephemeral pools remind us to cherish every passing moment – for life is but a series of fleeting wonders waiting to be discovered and appreciated before they disappear forever.
