The stems of the Dollarweed form a floating mat, full of Crawdads, snails and other good stuff. The Little Blue Heron is light enough to walk all over it. I may have to trap some of those Crawdads myself!
Great pic, as always! We have the great blues here, not sure about the littler ones.
You’re so right about people being unaware. I grew up on a farm, have a sixth sense about animals—I think that comes from not wanting to get caught by the bull, or the stallion that bites, or the mama pig with piglets. LOL :)
My guys all hunt, and it’s amazing to watch them move. Fluid. Completely still when they need to be—most of the time the animals pay no attention to them. It’s amazing to me how you can “become one with the animals.” Sounds stupid, but if they don’t perceive you as a threat, you can get incredibly close.
Hey, SS, please add me to your ping list! Thanks!
You’re on it!
Thanks! Keep up the good work, esp for those of us who have to work and get to spend less time than we want outside!
Funny, I actually miss work, it is hard to keep going when there is no schedule. I refuse to get hooked on TV, that is a worst last resort.
I’d like to stay home, but it’s a whole different rhythm. i love my job—work in a garden center, small one and I mansge the greenhouse—so it’s not too bad. I get to play in the dirt all day and get paid to do it! I don’t think I have to worry about ever retiring. Even if I make it that far, I have no monies.
I hardly ever watch tv. I have too many books to read/write. LOL
This is NOT just beautiful photography this is ART. There is a difference. The difference is simple. Anyone can click a camera shutter, it takes an artist to know where to point the camera BEFORE the shutter is tripped.
