More Blues

The herons are still on and near the nest at Jericho Park.

Here is another series of pictures of the beautiful birds.

 

blue beauty

 

 

choosing a home

 

 

display

 

getting attention

 

great "do"

 

watching

 

 

a little "soft shoe"

 

 and a shuffle

 

 

 

 

 

leaping

 

landing

 

 

 

OK, pay attention, time for nest building 101

 

 

ahem!

 

ahem, the action is this way

 

good, now this is how it's done

 

 

this looks like a "you're not serious" expression to me

 

time for a break  

 

 

maybe for you,

 

I've got first shift on the nest

 

 

ah, nothing like some peace and quiet

 

 

a bit of fishing

 

 

 

and solitary contemplation



 

I got a bit carried away with pictures this week, but this is only a smallish sampling of the ones I took.

 

 

Here is a beautiful time lapse of a rose blooming:

 



 

 

My painting this week follows the same theme as the post, a 20" X `14" watercolour painting of a Great Blue Heron called "Big Blue":

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, happy Whimsy Wednesday, until next time,
