We had an unexpected guest at a party.....






A lot of family and friends got together last night for a summer visit. Just before we were ready to eat, the hostess shouted, "come quickly, and look out the window!". A young Heron had arrived at the gathering, but decided to perch on the cars outside rather than come in. I did not have my "heron" lens with me, but a picture is better than no picture at all, so I started snapping away. As you can see, they were not very good. It was going to be necessary to get closer. I went outside and quietly approached the cars.... the bird did not seem in a hurry to leave. He posed several times, then got bored and decided to leave for better food.

Fireweed



Nothing like the Yukon, but we do have a "little" bit.

Sometimes it is good to look back.....


The scenery behind is as good as the view in front
