Great Blue Herons & Thoreau

Great Blue Heron amongst the cypress knees.

I could have stayed home on this day in May. At home, I could have watched the latest breaking news scroll across the bottom of the television screen as I surf through endless channels of uninteresting rubbish. There seems to be no limit to news that is breaking in today's world. I could have picked up a part time job and gone to work for someone else to supplement my retirement pension so that I can buy more stuff that advertisers are convinced that I need or I could start buying those eight dollar cups of coffee. There are any number of projects around the house that I could either finish or start. There is car and boat maintenance that could be attended to. But, Thoreau is on my mind.

Instead, I drift on a creek off of the North Landing River, the sun warm on my shoulders, drinking coffee from a thermos, watching a heron hunt amongst the cypress knees.
