As the Heron flies......

Morning all,

The way you get to know yourself is by the expressions on other people's faces, because that's the only thing that you can see, unless you carry a mirror about - Gil Scott-Heron

As the Heron crow flies...

Meaning: In a direct line, without any of the detours caused by following a road.....The allusion in this expression is obviously to the ability of crows to fly directly from A to B, without the encumbrances of roads and landscape features that restrict man. Crows are perhaps an odd choice as, unlike many birds that migrate over long distances, their flight isn't especially straight. Crows normally fly in large wheeling arcs, looking for food........and as for Herons...they follow the fish.......think I'll stick to the road !!

Have a great day ;0)
