I spent an hour meandering along the lakeside with this blue heron, who clearly had no problem with having company holding a camera!
These are such beautiful birds here in south Florida, and today’s made me think a better species name would be “Blue Jeans Heron” with all its denim shades!
What are five of your favorite blue things, asks The Daily Artisan??!

“But never have I been a blue calm sea. I have always been a storm.”
―Stevie Nicks

“Blue is the color of peace. Water is blue. I like the color blue because it just puts me at peace. The patriotic symbol is blue. I just like blue.”
―Antonio Brown

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.”
―Eleonora Duse
