What wings are to a bird,

Thank you all for your words of wisdom and support on yesterday's post. I am deeply grateful. The melancholy will pass, I'm sure.

Herons; they are gorgeous and yet...they're a curious mixture of dignity and comedy.
Great set of shots - and you must have been close!
Being in the ocean this evening was even better than the first days - possibly due to it being over 112 degrees!! Way to hot!

Hunter is a noble name for a gor-jus creature
wow, i love the shot of his feathers all spiked up ... wild! i am shocked that he is not scared of the golf cart rolling by. ( :
Great captures of a very majestic bird :)
What a brave heron Hunter is! The Corrie Ten Boom quote is sooo comforting.

I think he was getting ready to tell you to get lost, but he suddenly remembered his mama's admonition to say nothing if he couldn't say anything nice, which left him with an open mouth but nothing coming out.
These are spectacular images. I'm so glad you went back and ignored the golf course rules again. Did you get any video of the hunting dance?
Fantastic! These are such great looking birds! Nice work!
Love him! Jaw stretching at it's finest.
Loving every one of these shots. Your photos are so awesome my friend. Keep them coming...
Hugs~
