I'm really glad you asked, because I saw something cool when I went out to get the pic. A green heron flew out from under the buttonbush that's on the pond dam about 15' to the left of the dock ramp and perched on the old fence that cuts the pond. Then another flew out from the same place and joined the first one. I see one almost every day but this is the first time I've seen the male and female together so now I'm wondering if maybe they're nesting in the tangle on the west side of the pond.
Wow Augie, gorgeous. Beautiful dock/deck. Perfect for fishing. And a pair of green herons calling it home. You have done something wonderful. Beautiful dog too. Thanks, this made my day. Happy 4th!
Gorgeous dog!
