So, I worked at the paper on Wed., did errands all day today until evening then headed to the lake to "heron hunt." I went to a place that's shallow with nice reeds and didn't see any and was thinking, hmmm, this looks like a good place for a heron to be hanging out, when one silently lifted up and glided away.

I then went over to another place, usually don't go there, it's down a long path, usually don't have good luck there and at first didn't see anything but then there was a heron just standing there. So, I took several (ok, 200) pictures. It was nice. This is one.
