The ultimate survivor

Tim was off today so we went down to Constitution Gardens to see if my friend the heron was still there. I had been concerned because of the sub-zero temperatures we had the other week and the lake freezing over, but there he was, fishing on the far side of the lake.

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