Earlier in the afternoon, this heron was wading in the pool and as I went to get my camera, it stepped out onto the pool deck.  DANG!  I really wanted a photo of it in the pool!  So I took a couple shots anyway and then opened the back door to shoo it away and this is the photo after I opened the door.  Clearly, I scared the shit out of this heron.......we won't be swimming in the pool for a couple days......let that stuff get filtered out.......:)
