Perched

We saw this beautiful Great Blue Heron perched high in a tree.

It looks strange to me seeing it perched in a tree. Any pictures I've seen they're usually in the water. I like the advice from a heron.

I am with ann, it is not common to see them in trees, I have seen them but not a lot of them. I don't think I ever got a photo of one in a tree. he is a beauty, i love the colors of his wing feathers.. and he is one smart bird with his advice

Oh how beautiful! We supposedly have a lot of blue herons in our area although I've never seen many. There's even an inn named after them, a few towns over. Thank you for sharing with me about your husband, Ginny, and his issue that matched my hubby's current one. It brought my hubby a lot of comfort to hear about that, as I told him the minute I saw your comment. ~Andrea xoxo

Beautiful bird.

Beautiful Blog Look.

Re: your question... We shop for most of our groceries, at a grocery store, where I order on line, and pick them up, at store Drive-Up place. They bring order out and put it in your car.

Why? We started, when the *Damncovid* started. It was great, to not have to shop in store. And we have continued, ever since.

Our daughter in law next door, does this also, so it is easy for her to pick up our order, if we ever could not do so.

We do shop in-store, at a couple of places, for items we prefer, from them. We go early and avoid lots of shoppers. For general safety and I don't like crowds. -smile-

For a long time, we have not worn masks, except medical places, which require them. Even there, we have them below nose, so we can breath, and not fog up our glasses, and I have had only 1 "put it over nose." LOL

And of course, as soon as I moved away from that secretary, I pulled it down again. >,-)

Why? Because they do not work! And I will not wear one, sealed all around, so carbon dioxide stays in, and I breathe it back in.

Gentle hugs,

Excellent captures and a great advice to go with it. :)

Funny I don't think of herons as perching in a tree. It seems like their legs are too long to hold them steady!

Beautiful heron! I remembered black crowned night herons I often saw and looked over them at a web. I noticed herons belong to Pelecaniformes.

Those are great pics! I think they are majestic birds.
Great advice too!
