We had lunch with our good friends John and Vickie at Big Tex BBQ, which is in a an old train car. It was great to see them.  The sink in the bathroom was shaped like the state of Texas.

Sue, Vickie, John and John in front of the Big Tex BBQ. We went to  Twin Lakes to view the cranes with John and Vickie. Not as many cranes during the day, but lots of ducks.

Sunset. These clouds had a sundog rainbow with my sunglasses, it didn't show up in the photo.

A few snow geese (the white ones) came in late. One last night with the cranes. Lots of cranes flying in tonight 

A dance of cranes with the sliver moon. We are now camped at Pima County Fair grounds in Tucson. It was 83 today, warm enough to have dinner outside.
