Moving on from the buzzards in my shore bird series, here is a lovely little blue heron, slowly stalking some food.
We had a nice, warm day at the beginning of the week and right now as I type this, I can hear the rumbles of a thunderstorm outside. I’m so happy that spring has finally settled into my little corner of the world, and I hope you’re seeing signs of it as well! Have a wonderful weekend (been to the Friday Ark yet?)!
Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an circa-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, G-Dog (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). We have one kid (that we know of) -- a daughter, Emmie, who recently graduated from college and moved out on her own (keep your eyes open and you might spot her at some point, twirling joyously right before she tosses her hat in the air).
I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. G-Dog and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.
This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant, arugula-eating, progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist (yes!! bring on gay marriage, give us a single-payer, completely socialized health care system, and replace the stupid war on drugs with legal, regulated, uber-taxed marijuana -- and some very handy industrial hemp!).

I would say he’s not just a little blue. He’s a lot blue! *ducking and running*
PS: Gorgeous bird and good picture!
HA!!
(He really does blend in with the background!!)
The Blue heron is one of my favorites, they are gorgeous birds. Great shot!
Pretty picture, thanks for sharing!
Incredible capture of the Little Blue Heron Alice! I would love to see one of these, it would be a lifer for me.
I agree with your political outlook and am looking forward to reading more of your blog.
Beautiful picture of the blue heron!
Thanks for all the comments! I’m loving checking out all your blogs!!!
