Juvenile heron

Gone fishing … Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias

See the heron in 20th Century Fox technocolour here.

The weather has got a little chilly 8°c and it's blowing such a hooley out there, all of a sudden with heavy rain, so much that it has completely broken up the satellite image and consequently I can't hear Leo Sayer singing on TOTP 1978 *thanks weather gods*

A busy day again - Guess what we were doing today … Available for dates in the UK …

I hope your Thursday is a good one :)

THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Wendell Berry
