Made In The Shade


I was taking a lunchtime walk this week, at one of the local parks, and came across this bird. On a hot and humid day, he (she?) was smart enough to hang out in the shade.

I only had my iPhone, had left my Compact Digital in the car.


I believe this is a Great Blue Heron, but I'm no expert on birds.  This was as close as I could get, I didn't want to disturb him (her) too much:
