There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption
We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.

Must have been a boring day for the bird.

I find these such interesting birds and this place looks like a good spot for a heron to settle.

It's the first time I see a shy heron :). In our local newspaper I saw a terrible photo of a heron swallowing a young rabbit which he had drowned before swallowing it, also the noise they make in their nesting colonies! since that picture I find them brutal robbers, but beautiful and I don't blame them.

@Illuci: Oh my goodness! I would be pretty terrified if I saw that.
A wonderful shot e, I love his pose.
