High in the pine, partly hidden by leaves and branches, a great blue heron stood quietly above our backyard. I had never seen one perch there before.
I wished for my longer lens, but perhaps the distance belongs in the photograph. He was not there to pose for me. He was simply resting in a place he had chosen, allowing me only a glimpse.
For a few moments, the familiar trees became something else. Wilder, more mysterious. Then I understood why some photographs do not need to bring us closer.
Sometimes the story is in discovering what was there all along.
I'd Love to Hear From You
CASA is a place for discovering, remembering, and sharing the little things that stay with us. If something you've read or seen here brings back a memory, sparks a thought, or simply makes you smile, I'd love to hear about it.
After all, the best conversations often begin with something small.
Come sit at our table. There's always room for one more.
Thank you!
