On the drive home from Hannah’s summer basketball league, much to her dismay, I pulled over when I spotted this great blue heron in the Harrington River. The ear buds went in and she settled in for what she expected would be a long wait and grumbled, “You and that camera.”

He in turn, startled the geese who popped their heads up from the marsh grass in the setting sun.
