You've got to love those adjectives!

Adjectives are words that describe nouns. They help to make our writing more colorful, vivid, and real. Without adjectives, you couldn't accurately explain to someone how delicious the cold, bubbly, refreshing soda just tasted! (Notice that those adjectives are shown in blue, purple, and green text so that they grab your attention.)

Today, I'd like you to think about adjectives and how they're needed in any piece of quality writing. For your inspiration, use the picture below!


That's a picture (not taken by me) of what I saw in my backyard today! Isn't the Sandhill Crane a magnificent creature?

I'd like you to think of just one adjective that you could use to describe those birds. There are lots of great adjectives that you could choose, but you're limited to only one. So pick whichever adjective you think would be most descriptive and share that idea! :)
