Tuesday I went to the Lily Pool, which was crowded with people. Their noise startled a heron out of its place by the side of the pond. It flapped up out of the tall grasses, where it had been invisible, and heavily flew up into the crown of the tallest tree. There, from a safe perch, it continued to eye us with considerable alarm.

What beautiful flowers. I love purple because the second I look at it, I feel a rush of joy.

I’ve been to the Warren Woods many times and strongly believe that Mr. C picked an ideal spot to propose...

Thanks for painting a picture of the noisy city with your words. Despite the noise, I miss the place.

How lovely to turn an unexpected wait in a vast airport into an artful observation. Thank you for looking outside...

Thank you for visiting

Once again a terrific picture. I see, as you noted in your previous post on the sleeping heron, that they do have red eyes!
Celia says
red eyes, and yellow legs!
