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.

I'm always happy to get a photo of a frog;
not sure that I'd be 218 times as happy if, well, you know.Music of the Week
Poetry of the Week
Be kind and tender to the Frog,And do not call him names,As ‘Slimy skin,’ or ‘Polly-wog,’Or likewise ‘Ugly James,’Or ‘Gape-a-grin,’ or ‘Toad-gone-wrong,’Or ‘Billy Bandy-knees’:The Frog is justly sensitiveTo epithets like these.No animal will more repayA treatment kind and fair;At least so lonely people sayWho keep a frog (and, by the way,They are extremely rare).Posted: 2025 Jan 25
