Nature Walks – It’s Heron Season Again

Yesterday was a beautiful day, so we decided to take the girls out for a long walk. They thoroughly enjoyed it, especially since we took them somewhere new. We took them to Metzger Farm, not new to me, but it was new to both Larry and the girls. We walked about 4 miles. We had some very pooped pups at the end of the walk, but look how happy both Dorrie and Juneau are. Larry got his upper body workout while I took pictures. For the most part, we each had one dog. Larry only took hem when I found something I had to capture with my camera.

The walk was great, but we didn’t see too much for most of the walk. But at the very end, we saw the Herons. At first, I only saw the one, and he let me get very close to him. I was very happy seeing him too. He allowed me to get some great shots of him before flying off.

Then he flew away, but he invited me to join him. See, he is looking over his shoulder, making sure I am following him.

When he landed, he introduced me to his wife, for a more intimate look.

Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Heron. I feel very special and privileged to be allowed into your private world. 🙂
