A visit to Herron Island this past weekend, and lots of herons. Are they herrons there? Both mornings this heron was fishing from the raft in the early morning.

jazz in the park
This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday 128. I walked past Travis Park in San Antonio going from the hotel to the conference center. I went on both Saturday and Sunday evening and listened to great jazz.

And a more classic pose. Thank you, heron!

Oh, there! This is a yellow crowned night heron. I also photographed a juvenile along Riverwalk, but this adult was in the busy section at 5 pm. About 30 feet up in a tree, but not otherwise hidden. There are ducks and pigeons and sparrows along Riverwalk, but it seems that the herons are thriving too. Bravo for this strip of nature that runs through the city like an oasis, winding among the streets.

For photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #127.
I left San Antonio on Sunday. I was reading and writing at the hotel, inside and out, and spotted this small resident. She was hanging out on the Riverwalk side of the hotel and was quite cooperative for photographs.
Prayers for a friend on Puerto Rico and for all the people and creatures there and in the paths of the other hurricanes and storms.

sting
For the Daily Prompt: sting. But no, I am wrong, I don’t think this insect has a sting, at least not for people! We do worry about insects having stingers, but insects are also our great pollinators.
Sending love to and in celebration of insects.

Oh! We need a better view! Turn, bird! I can’t wade out into the river here!
Turning a little….

Near the top of the previous post, in the tree, near the roof line of the building behind. A bird and not a very small bird. Look, feathers, who is it?
