Life on the Coast

One of the two great blue herons we visit on our daily walks along the harbour here in Morro Bay. They stand still as statues, waiting for fish, and then strike with lightning speed to gobble up a meal. They are grace personified and watching them take to the sky, leaves your heart in your throat to see such beauty. The "grak-grak" of their call is so unexpected and jarring - the one disruptive exception that makes their elegance even more breathtaking.
