Great day, Great Heron

I admire the patience and grace of the great herons we often see along the shoreline. Feet in the water, gazing to see if there are any breakfast fish in the surf while enjoying the golden sunrise. Ah, what a life.

This one was quite captivating and didn't seem to mind me and a couple of other would-be photographers as we captured its long legged "strike-a-pose" attitude. I'll share him the only way I know how — through pictures.

I'm easily amused, but it just tickles me that their knees bend backwards when they walk.
