Great Blue Heron seemingly at rest, but ever on alert for passing prey.

Common and seasonally abundant near streams and larger bodies of standing water.

A shot from one morning that I spent watching two brothers tracking a female. At the time we left, they hadn't succeeded.

I really enjoy seeing the beautiful light of dawn. Retirement has allowed me the opportunity to experience some wonderful sunrises, like this one at Blue Heron Park on the east side of Windsor, Ontario. What I have noticed is how different the dawn light is between summer and winter.

Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty

Running on - running blind

Running on - running into the sun

But I'm running behind

My my my remember that place

Yea the whole thing started there

My my my back in those days

There was magic everywhere

Now all our friends are getting married

We're still acting like kids

I've been thinking about it

I just don't know when it is

When the world's moving too fast

Wishing it would move slow

If you need meditation

I know a place to go

If you ever ever ever need a break

I got a house on the lake

We could get out get out get away

I got a house in a little town

On the lake

My my my remember Sundays at the bottom of the hill

We would make plans just to break em we had so much time to kill

Living life in the city

Acting old while we're young

Said goddamn you're so pretty

I swear to god you're the one

But I don't wanna move too fast

I just wanna move slow

If you need meditation

I know a place to go

If you ever ever ever need a break

I got a house on the lake

We could get out get out get away

I got a house in a little town

On the lake

Taken yesterday in my backyard.

Capture taken on day 3 of previous NYC visit. The day started again early and I did use a taxi to get to Grand Central to take a few capture there. The plan afterwards was to move to Tudor bridge. Too bad, there was just construction works so I could not get on that bridge...so I went further to get to this place. Was a bit late for more blue in the sky, but now overall happy with this edit. Hope you like it too. Happy long weekend ahead....Thanks, Udo.

An Eastern great egret (ardea alba modesta) prowling through a flooded rice paddy near Anuradhapura, in Sri Lanka - probably on the hunt for small fish or frogs.

Praying Mantis

This one was visiting on this day last year. This variety is normally found further north in the deserts, hence the brown colouring.

@ S.E.A Singapore

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
