He stops by occasionally and has taken a liking to our spa,
sitting there for 15-20 minutes.
Guess he likes the warm water!
He always keeps his eye on me,
making sure I keep my distance.
And I do.
I totally respect his privacy!
Once he steps out of the spa, he spends about 5 minutes shaking and drying off.
As well as clearing the taste of the chlorine from his mouth!
Nasty stuff!
After a bit, he hops over to the side of the pool ....
And saunters down to the dock to continue more air-drying time.
And then some bug eating time.
I like our little visitor.
As long as he doesn't bring more guests!
(P.S. The house feels so empty now with the passing of Kramer. Such a gentle and old soul kitty, he will always be in our hearts. Thank you for all your wonderful comments. It was very comforting!)

oh, these are awesome shots of your visitor! i've never been able to get this close in to one! wonderful!
these are totally way out and cool and awesome and just plain fun... sorry to hear about Kramer.
He looks quite at ease sauntering down the walkway. He's quite the handsome one.
Awesome captures indeed, Reena!! What a fun visitor to have!! Having just lost my four-legged best friend of 16 years, I do so under4stand and empathize with your loss of Kramer!! The hurt doesn't leave quickly.

I'm so sorry about your kitty...I know how hard that can be. Love these photos! Sending the link to my hubby for him to enjoy, too. We've never seen one of these! WOW!
First off, I'm so sorry about Kramer. I know that hurts...
Beautiful photos of your visitor! Now that is the kind of drop-in guest we all like to have.
Reena I'm so very sorry to read about Kramer. I remember that he was sick.
I expect you'll have little reminders of him here and there...and I hope in time you can smile with good memories of him healthy and young.
Hugs Madi and Mom
I know the silence can be deafening, but I also know how going through photo archives can suck us into oblivion! :-) What an adorable house guest...I'd have him anytime!
So funny to see him hanging out at your place. I guess he finds it comfortable. Cute series.
Losing a pet does leave a big soft hole in the day. I am fascinated by your bird. He is lovely! I wish we had such exotic and tame visitors!!! Great photos.
Wow, these are awesome lucky you to have a feathered friend visit your spa.
Wow....what a visitor! And a spa-loving visitor, at that! Love how you've captured him.
These are fabulous, Reena. Wowza!
Now, that is one pampered Night heron. Awesome photos.

Reena, I never get enough of your bird shots. You capture them so beautifully and I can feel the character of each jumping off the computer screen.
That's hilarious -- poor heron must need some stress relief! Adorable series.
I am sorry about your kitty.
Love that fluffy bird shot - gorgeous images - congrats on the POTW.
your photography always makes me smile....and your text:)
it's your edits that wow me with their wonder....you really have a way.
thanks for sharing the magic,

Great close-up photos of the heron. It must feel completely safe in your environment.
The first is my favourite, really cool, thanks Reena.
He's beautiful -- I've never seen one before.
That is one handsome heron! And bigger than I'd have expected. (I've never seen one up close before.) He looked like he was really enjoying himself.
And I am so sorry about your cat. Big sigh :-(
