But, then again, I don't know what a comfortable heron looks like either.Emily Schillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00536524180642438952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-61990019826642055212013-02-16T07:35:00.950-08:002013-02-16T07:35:00.950-08:00Hello Emily, congratulations on that wonderful pic...Hello Emily, congratulations on that wonderful picture of the blue heron. It looks pretty cold and somewhat bemused that it can stand on the water. It was also probably waiting for you to hurry up and take the perfect shot of it before you both froze! I'm pretty hopeless with anything that isn't a plant and isn't a few feet away from me and even then it can be a gamble.Sunil Patelhttp://www.sunilpatel.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-4468037298821717902013-02-12T10:51:37.924-08:002013-02-12T10:51:37.924-08:00Thank you, Helen!

Maybe I can make some suggestions. Speaking of, your suggestions of weekly challenges and "wordless Wednesdays" might help me get on with publishing with more regularity.

I went through a whole phase in January of rubbish photos and like you winter is getting wearing and my enthusiasm is low. I blog on wordpress and they have daily and weekly challenges. They do a a weekly photo challenge and I am finding these are getting me through the dull non gardening period of winter.<br />I find doing a few memes helps to make me blog regularly. I do wordless wednesday and some monthly ones and then fill in as and when I think of other things. If I have a lot to say or show I drop the memes.

I do a "Blog of the Month" feature on my blog, Jean's Garden, where I review and recommend blogs that I think my readers would enjoy. I wanted to let you know that your blog is one of three that I am focusing on this month. My post reviewing the blogs just went up, and your blog will be highlighted on my sidebar throughout the month. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973482866469196811.post-36143138779712778632013-01-30T19:05:32.629-08:002013-01-30T19:05:32.629-08:00Thanks Lori!

We have lots of herons around here and they always seem so uninterested in the passing traffic. They are quite a sight when they take flight. <br />You captured some beautiful moments in time. Ice crystals are so fleeting, sometimes gone within minutes of a temperature change, gone forever.
