Klineline Heron
Yesterday was a beautiful day. I wanted to see the heron at Salmon Creek. So I went for a drive to get there, and then for a bike ride. I had to go almost ALL THE WAY to the far end of the trail to find one! But I’m such a pokey rider that it didn’t matter - I didn’t expend any energy on the trip, despite the fact I rode 2-¾ miles there and the same back. I tried to take pictures of the heron, but the trees were framing the view, and automatic focus cameras focus on what THEY think you want to get, (like stupid leaves in the way), not on what you really need (like the heron on the other side of the creek).
But when I rode back the other direction, an additional distance beyond the starting point, under the bridge and over the bridge (over the bridge and under the dam, looking for berries/heron, looking for jam), I did find one of which I got a PICTURE that should be OK. So, here it is.
Last night, our son spent the night at his friend’s. So I said to Bob, what do you want to do? He had no ideas, and I had no ideas. We looked up the academy awards from last year, and found the movie The Departed, and we got that. It’s very intense. Cops and Robbers on a Mafia scale. Lots of big name stars. We only watched about 2 hours of it, but we’ll finish it today.
Good luck on your all your endeavors. May all your heron(s) be blue.
