tame
This is for the Daily Prompt: tame.
Not tame, though. We were out for a walk and heard a warning chatter. Up in the following tree, caught by the zoom.
be leave
For the Daily Prompt: believe.
scale
This is the second to last post in this series. I zoom back out some to capture the scale of this tree, our great blue heron, how she is so comfortable sitting on this branch so high up. Where I would not be comfortable at all. She amazes me.
morning sun
She and I rest some, just enjoying the morning sun.
no hands
Our heron is grooming again. We had a discussion last night: do they have more bones in the neck than people? And what about giraffes?
Here is a lovely blog post about birds and bones and herons’ necks from 2013: http://rosy-finch.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-unfeathered-bird-review-and.html. Add that book to my wish list, it sounds both gorgeous and fascinating.
leave
For Wordless Wednesday.
watch
“I feel like I’m being watched.”
groom
Our heron keeps an eye on us, her paparazzi, but begins to groom her feathers in the early morning fun. I am thinking about keeping my balance on the branch, way up in the air, and then I cannot do that with my neck. She is amazing! And so calm and relaxed moving on a high branch in the tree.
For the Daily Prompt: athletic. I wish I were that strong and limber.
feathers
I moved around the tall tree taking photographs. Our heron perches so comfortably, high up. Her feathers are so complex and beautiful.
