There he is - every morning - waiting for me. And I thought - we've just got to stop meeting like this...least someone finds out!

What an esteemed friend, and gorgeous photo! I've been stalking my neighborhood swamp for just one more opportunity to photograph the resident blue heron. So far, no luck. That's because he's courting you:)
