One of my better shots from today, lots more heron photos to come. I spent about an hour watching and shooting photos of this Great Blue Heron at Fraser Foreshore Park in Burnaby, BC, this morning.

Murmuring Rain and Underwear
As I was listening to the murmuring rain this morning in that dreamy state of gradually waking up on a weekend, I had the warm and fuzzy thought of running around outside through the gentle droplets in my underwear.
