Some might say I'm a bit scrawny
or that my nose is too long
or my neck too thin
others may comment that my breast is too small
or my legs too knobby
and I suppose sometimes my walk may be a bit odd
I imagine I could let all that talk
put me a bit
off balance
But then ...
what does it matter
what others think
it only matters
what I
believe
to be
true
I am the Great Blue Heron
soaring
soaring
soaring
beyond all earthly matters.

I thoroughly enjoyed your post. You provided the one stage show with a brilliant character.
Isn't it strange how awkward the look, yet they can seem so elegant?

Gorgeous!!! So beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.
A good walk around the pier, a excellent narritive and great photos of the Heron.
It doesn't matter squat what others say. Those are beautiful birds.
A wonderful post... a big smile on my face as I type.
A great set of images.
I love how you said that.... wonderful! Free to be me, just as I am!
My favorite birds of all. Gorgeous shots.
I know all these things to be true.
But when I spred My wings I am BEAUTIFUL, I am free.
Great post.
Wonderful pictures, how on earth do you get these birds to post for you?
A great series and your commentary fits perfectly.
brilliant post, reena!

This is just beautiful, Reena!
Hi Reena, I really enjoyed your GB Heron post. The photos are great too.
Awesome capture and processing Reena!!
With a name like that one cannot have low self esteem now can they? Perfect post Reena. Love coming to your blog!
That third shot from the top is awesome; such an unusual angle. Their necks always remind me of that pipe under my bathroom sink. Cute post!
You are just going give herons even a bigger ego now. Uppity birds they are. Penguins don't go flying, swooping, strutting around like those herons. Oh give me the penguins instead.
nice pics though - how much fish did you need to give him?
Love this. I wish I had that confidence... I guess that is the lesson here. :)
Brilliant shots, wonderful, wonderful, oh did I mention wonderful!
Great shots..just loved each and every one!Have a great day.
