Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
Temps: Hi 79F (26C) / LO 63F (17C)
There is a little blue heron that frequents our pond. Generally, he’s a shy character, flying off when he senses any movement. On this occasion, he not only tolerated my presence — I approached quietly from the patio on the neighboring site, and made myself as small as possible before sitting down in the shade of a fan palm — but he showed off a bit, too!

I love it when wild critters let me sit with them.
WOW...is he ever lovely! Great job.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! Couldn't you just sit there forever and watch him? These are just terrific pictures Erin. You've captured his coloring so well.
ReplyDeleteSome Birdie needs a pedicure. Great capture of the little white eyebrow, and you can't me tell those are not dinosaur legs. Stay well LBH!
ReplyDeleteHe's a beauty! What wonderful photos:)
ReplyDeleteI bet he was posing because he knew you would make him famous. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteNo problem you sitting close to birds, just don't try that with lions or sharks! ;c)
ReplyDeleteLions ... maybe; sharks ... no way; bears ... survived that experience ;-)
DeleteBeautiful and how fun to be able to sit and watch close by. I can't wait to get back to the Gulf to capture some of these unique guys.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to get so close. I love the red blush on his neck. I got close to a few little blue herons from my kayak in Florida. I treasure those moments. And yes...I have seen your bear photos! For a small woman you have big courage!
ReplyDeleteWhat a show off yet tolerant. Cant wait to be there soon and enjoyed all your feathered friends.
ReplyDeletegorgeous color!
