Memorial Day Treat

I went for a walk over at the channels mid-afternoon.  It was windy, but still very nice.  I enjoy this public walkway, and seeing the variety of boats, people, dogs, and birds.  When I began my walk, I had the sidewalks to myself.  As I rounded a corner, there, right in front of me, was this awesome great blue heron!  I have seen him in flight above the channels, but never up so close.  He let me take a few pictures before he flew away.  I was thrilled!



 


These fishing birds were out in abundance.  But they were always several feet ahead of me.  And they dive frequently.  Then come up with a little fish in in their beaks.  Then they're diving again, or flapping up the channel a few yards. 

This is our little next door neighbor, Meka (not sure how it is spelled). 
She was certainly having fun in this little homemade pool.
