Waterfowl

On a walk around the ponds in our neighborhood yesterday, I was treated to seeing several different types of waterfowl: ducks, Canadian geese, an egret and a great blue heron.

A great blue heron.

I stopped to watch the heron stealthily approach the egret. Canadian geese and ducks were swimming in the pond. It was a delight to stand and watch the birds, and take pictures of them.

The heron approaches the egret, with an image of a bird flying over the pond.

It reminded me of a time, years ago, while traveling with our sons, we had to wait a while for a train. There was a pond nearby. I told them nature can be very entertaining, and we went to sit near the pond to watch the birds and ducks.

The heron chases the egret away.

It was entertaining then, and it is today.

The heron, the egret and Canadian geese all together for the photo shoot. ha!

These birds did indeed entertain me, and bless me, this day.
