Friday Creature

Wow! For such a short week, that sure was a long week! TGIF, everyone! To celebrate, here is a truly magnificent great blue heron. I love these very regal and brave birds, who will let a person with a camera creep surprisingly close!

Have a wonderful weekend! The ark is up!

Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

Wastin' time



Granted, the heron is standing, but Otis Redding's song was the first thing that popped into my head - besides, "ooh, he has a spot on his shoulder". The bird, I mean, not Otis.



Great pic!

Nice!! I like the association!



I like the way his feet are hanging off the side of the dock -- and all of the soft drapey feathers!

There are so many great details in this picture, Alice, including the reflection of another pier, the textures and colors of the bird, etc. So I repeat: Great pic! :-)

Great shot. Those long feathers are something else.
