Handsome Blue Heron, 194/365



The book of Kells daily poetry prompts (#8) is:  Turn your paper so that it's in the landscape position.  Write a poem about God or the universe or the horizon of the ocean with longer lines and see what happens.

Well, since I ALWAYS use my keyboard and computer, I have decided not to do this one.  I have company this week and have had very little "blogger-time" and apologize if my responses and comments have been minimal this week (and the previous as I was cleaning!!)

I took our guest to the bog garden to feed the ducks and geese and look what I found?  Isn't he (she?) handsome amongst this habitat?  So, I thought the above photos were poetry enough for today.  What do you think?  This is my pick this week for "Weekend Reflections".

  3. What a handsome guy! We see herons here every once in a while. They look so otherworldly, especially when they fly.

  8. A wonderful fellow indeed, Margaret, and great shots you got of him!

    I'm so pleased you and your son enjoyed peeking at my blog recently. It's always good to have a distraction when little ones are feeling unwell. I do hope he's feeling better now. Enjoy your company, and I'll come back to visit soon...:)
