"The heron blames the water
because he cannot swim."
Danish Proverb
“When despair for the world
grows in me, and I wake
in the night at the least
sound in fear of what my life
and my children's lives may be --
" I go and lie down where
the wood drake rests in
his beauty on the water, and
the great heron feeds. I come
into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives
with forethought or grief.
I come into the presence
of still water. And I feel
above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For
a time I rest in
the grace of the world,
and am free.”
Wendell Berry

It's always a wonderful delight to visit with you Cloudia and seeing Pixie too of course. The heron is one of my favorites, they sure know how to fish and float and be just precious for the eyes to behold!
A beautiful photo of the heron! Great shot!
A heron is alone but it may not be lonely! Its meal is waiting in the water to be picked up!

Hello Cloudia, I love this post with the pretty Snowy Egret. I like their cute yellow feet.
