Grouchy Hunkered Down Heron

I spent the day in the gallery yesterday and two different blue herons appeared out the window when there weren't any customers. This one looked so grouchy. He kept turning his butt towards me as I tried to take his picture. I haven't yet gotten to look at Rachel's cartwheel pictures. Thanks for understanding how much it means to me to have been able to recover them. And thanks for the visits, comments, suggestions, favs
