I was taking pictures of roseate spoonbills — regrettably, too far away to be great shots — and I turned around just in time to catch a great blue heron in a pond on the other side of the road, just as he was just in time to catch his next snack.

THE FACE
- Anthony EuwerAs a beauty I'm not a great star,
There are others more handsome by far,
But my face I don't mind it,
Because I'm behind it—
'Tis the folks in the front get the jar.Read the whole poem, here, along with others by the same author.
