I was taking pictures of roseate spoonbills — regrettably, too far away to be great shots — and I turned around just in time to catch a great blue heron in a pond on the other side of the road, just as he was just in time to catch his next snack.
Photo Memory of the Week
Cloud of the Week
Ladies and gentlemen, meet this week's cloud(s). I stumbled across it while walking to a clematis-site sighting from the previous day. By the time I got somewhere without any intervening tree branches, the cloud and the colours had moved on. Forget carpe diem: this is more like arripe occasionem.
