Today on a walk I spotted this old fella hiding near the shore. He took a look at me then went about his business. The herons are getting very common in urban ponds...that's a joy for me. I've seen the night heron here also. A cute little bugger. Now that I'm a blogger I take my camera everywhere. Visuals are everything. I like to show you what I see and how I see it and what stirs in me when I see it. These magnificent birds are a glorious simple ordinary pleasure. Dozens of cars drove by and there were dozens of people in the park. I wondered how many noticed the bird. I know they noticed the crazy blonde taking pictures of who knows what. I wanted to tell a young girl about the bird hiding along the shore. But we can't talk to kids anymore. When I walked away I turned around and saw her walk over to the point where I was standing, and look. I hope she saw.
