Tim had caught sight of our old friend the great blue heron – who’s been absent for months -- on his way home from work last night, so we went down to Constitution Gardens today to see him. We had almost given up as he was nowhere to be found, but we finally saw him sitting in an isolated part of the lake. He didn’t move a muscle the entire time we were there; perhaps it was too hot to fish, but we were delighted to have him back. I only hope there’s enough fish for him now since the Park Service had emptied the lake a few months ago.

Best to view in "Original" or “Auto” because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
