Heron in the Rain
A Heron in the rain…
The beauty of our local bushland park in suburban Sydney is endless, and certainly not confined to sunny weather.
Sometimes I think that the most beautiful sights are to found in the rain, gentle or otherwise.
There is a simple, touching charm in these times: and one of my favourite spots to observe is on the promenade where the river and its surrounds can be closely watched.
I hope you enjoy this shot of a White-faced Heron as it searches for breakfast on the shores of the baths.

I love herons. All of them, and this fellow with his shadow is no exception. very nice!
They are quite fascinating. The White-faced ones are very elegant. I see them quite often in the river baths, especially when the tide is getting low.
It’s certainly very focused on not letting breakfast get away.

I wonder if crab is on the menu?

The white face really sets him off and makes him look special.
He is a quite beautiful and elegant bird, graceful in flight.
It is an odd looking bird. And what a beak!
Like needle-nose pliers. 😉 Good catch!
Now, Margaret, listen to me. I do not want you to feel obligated
to return the “Like” every day, especially when you have to browse
so much, just to find one you’ve yet to Like. It’s okay. I don’t post all that
often anymore. All your visits are, and have been, much appreciated.
You saw some of my unfinished novel. LoL Well, it was supposed to be
a short story, but it went on and on and…I couldn’t end it, so there it sits.
Anywayz, best wishes to you and yours today! Peace and luvz, Keith
Hi, Uncle Tree,
First, thanks for your comment about the Heron. 🙂
It is so thoughtful of you to comment about my difficulty in finding a post of yours that I’m yet to like. You are the only blogger who has mentioned this situation. So thank you, I will ‘Like’ your posts now and then. Much appreciated.
Re your unfinished novel..Maybe it would work as a novella if your problem is that you are daunted by having tens of thousands of words to go. I have published a couple of novellas and a few readers have praised them. It’s a shame for you to have done so much and just let it sit…Just a thought. 🙂
Best wishes to you!
Thank you for understanding. 🙂 I have 35,000+ words,
so I’m close, I think. An ending – a way to finish it right – that’s what never came to me. Then again, I may not want to have a book I have to sell and promote. LoL As a single parent with a factory job, I have enough to worry about.
Gee, you’re nearly there! If I were you I’d give it some thought and finish it off. 🙂 (My longest individual work, the novella ‘Michaela Betrayed’ is just 15,000 words. I added some short stories to the title to make it a better size in total. So congrats on getting so far.) 🙂
