We took a stroll around Piedmont Park to enjoy the afternoon sunshine, and found not one but two great blue herons. This is the second one. We’ve never spotted two here before (they weren’t together). Whee! We also saw many Muscovy ducks and no mallards or Canada geese (I don’t know why).
Here’s the long view from the other side of Lake Clara Meer. I’m mystified as to why the camera’s internal controls opted to make it appear to be an approaching-sunset shot. It was not; it was 3:36 pm, so mid-to-late-afternoon.
