Great Blue Heron

I'm seeing more and more Great Blue Herons, whether it's in Florida  or here in Ohio.  Must be a relative of this grey heron I once saw in Betws-y-Coed, Wales, as they look very similar.  These are very adaptable birds and can make their home in salt water or fresh water marshes--wherever there are fish!

Nice to see the animals making an appearance for the arrival of spring next week!

The crocuses in our garden are looking up for some springtime warmth.

Getting greener out

The view from our deck is looking greener!
