It Is the Season
In Florida it is spring. We had to wear sweaters and jackets as that polar express did touch all the way across the Florida peninsula on some days, but it was still spring here and the birds are nesting. These blue herons are such awkward and exotic looking birds. They stand staunchly like hunched-back old people with a serious grumpiness problem, but when they fly effortlessly it becomes magical. I wish I could stay and watch the little ones grow and fledge.

Hmm I think you just described me. ..hunchbacked and grumpy. I am desperately in need of a change. :) I have been watching the bluebirds condo shop so I know that spring really is hidden in this snow and ice. How awesome it would be to see those herons fledge.

ReplyDeleteyep, that is the florida i know and love....ha...nice to see the herons as well...we used to see them all over the place when we lived there....
ReplyDeleteFlorida can get cold, just like here in the south Louisiana swamps, but it doesn't last as long and it isn't as hard to bear as up North. We are grateful.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was spring here. the birds and budding plants thinks it's spring but the cold temps and overcast skies make it hard to believe.
ReplyDeleteThey have a pretty wild nest! Nice shots to show the grump.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see some sign of spring.. even if it's way the heck down there.
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of experience with great blue herons here on the Pacific coast. I love watching them fish in the lagoon on Whidbey Island.
ReplyDeleteIt has been dreaming of this for a long time, beauty.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your Florida vacation... Looks gorgeous. As you could tell from my blog, we have had a rough month here in TN.. Makes me want a trip to Florida myself!!!!!
