A Lurch Off a Perch

Lisa and I went out to the botanical gardens this morning, but there really isn't a lot of color out yet. So, instead...we went and did a little grocery shopping.

Then, she went to the pool, and I went to the ocean.

It was an afternoon of waiting games. 30 minutes, I waited for a blue heron to fly...then I missed it. 40 minutes, I waited for a fish-eating osprey to fly. It never moved, and finally the sun went down. But, I did get lucky with this giant egret. Ten minutes...tops...and it was off to greener pastures.

One of the fisherman told me that they were unloading a big boatload full of fish at 9 a.m., so I'm going to try to be there.
