“When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.” - Wendell Berry
o the tender consoling beauty
of this bird
whose wings fly us free of fear
Wow - this blue heron likes photoshoots! Great job!
