The weather was so lovely this evening - after a warm day, a cool breeze welcomed us at the garden. We talked to a couple from Gig Harbor and saw our friend Deborah who had come to hear us. The fish were more active than in the daytime....and a Great Blue Heron was present for the whole two hours, patiently, patiently looking for an evening meal. We didn't see him catch anything, as he flew on silent wings and stared at the water in different parts of the pond. It was refreshing to play on the platform without the quick shade overhead; the garden had a different feel than the daytime, with the twilight adding a noticeable end-of-the-day, serene atmosphere.
A Great Blue Heron waits so patiently for dinner, motionlessly studying the water.
The bird flew silently above the pond to try a different spot...
And stood some more in the water.....
And stood on a rock....
A loyal fan, Deborah, meditates as she listens under the cherry trees.
John plays "Call of the Cranes".
John plays "Call of the Cranes".
Carp were jumping and splashing, looking for bugs in the evening....
The lilypads all closed up in the evening light.
On the way home, the nearly full moon was beautiful.
