chance…

…encounter

with

a blue heron

there’s no planning - these kinds of things - they either happen or not - i was out doing errand - with a friend and - then she kindly took - me to lunch to - celebrate my birthday which - was last week - we had a fabulous - time catching up - and even made plans - for some future events - on the way home - we happened to pass - one of my favorite - photo haunts and - encountered this wonderful - surprise just off the - side of the road - totally unexpected and - totally unusual in its - behavior i thought - to be so close to vehicles - yet there it was

a beautiful blue heron - one of my favorite birds - i didn’t even get out - of the car, just snapped - through an open window - whispering a few gentle - words to it and then - we took off trying to - disturb it as little as possible - and that was enough - to make it…

a

happy day…..
