Big Blue

If you look closely through my kitchen window you will see a visitor to our backyard. That would be a Great Blue Heron gazing into my pond like it is Tacoma's newest sushi bar.



Moments after I took this picture, the dogs went charging and the heron gracefully flew away. Hopefully that was that and all is well under the water. I haven't had the courage to count the fish in the pond yet. If not we will have to call the Big Game Hunter Rob & his weapon of mass distruction. That's what we had to do to scare off the last heron that wafted into our yard a couple of years ago.

BTW don't forget to notice the beautiful artichoke windchime that Peter made for me. Isn't it amazing! I keep meaning to hang it somewhere outside, but then I wouldn't get to look at it as much.
