    Default Great Blue Heron

    We were having our evening cocktails on the lanai and had a visitor on the patio, he wanted a Martini but we were out of vermouth.

    Amazing! How did you manage to take the pic without scaring him off? I love your bamboo fountain.

    Cin, it seems, wears her camera around her neck!

    He seems small. I'll bet he's a young one. They're pretty brazen at my folks, as well. They have a pond just off the house in the back, and then marshland to the right of the house, so they get all sorts of herons, egrets and shore birds.

    Show us the rat!!!
