A Heron Kind of Day
The large Heron has been a bit elusive lately.. comes in the dark of the morning and leaves as soon as it's getting light out. But I caught him this morning (finally!).
"the tall and the short of it all".. heh.. the long neck is amazing.
He calmly walked into the water and proceeded to take a bath.
I caught a good reflection during a calm moment.. Two for the price of one!
A day would not be complete without ol' Deadeye.. the reflection colors on the waters were so nice I had to show him off.
DeadEye and the Moorhens (I named them George and Gracie) were keeping a sharp eye on the pond this morning.. because.. you know who..
...was close by watching them!
"Him" I have not named because he's the villain of the pond! Any suggestions? Maybe Snidely Whiplash??

Lovely photos, Pat. Did the croc in Peter Pan have a name? The one that swallowed the clock?
Wonderful photos as usual. The guy at the end is scary and looks like he is plotting something bad...he needs a villain name for sure...hmmm...thinking about it but nothing is jumping out at me at the moment. I think we have to give him a name from literature though!
All the pictures are great, but the gator...fantastic. You realize up here in gator country, that picture would be an instant hit! I am going to try to do a color picture of it. Love the contrast of the placid pond and the lurking gator. Still the baby one, right? Vala3
I see they are keeping an eye on it. I don't blame them a bit. No name comes to mind. Helen
What about Crunch? There was this book I had as a kid about a crocodile that lived in a similar setting but the only thing I can remember about the book is his little catchphrase: "Crunch and munch, crunch and much. My name is Crunch and I want my lunch." Odd how silly things like that stick with you huh?
How about Chompers???
LR
gavin: his name was Tick.Tock lol
kathleen: he's still small but his instincts are all there!
Vala: yep, still the baby gator..some of the people feed it bread.. not a good idea but I can't stop them.
me either Helen..I just wonder what he's eating in the pond already let alone when he gets bigger.
LOL Crunch is cute!.. Crunch 'n' Munch ewwwww lol
hi LR: Chompers is another one!
