Caraboat & Heron

Hi everyone!  The video I have chosen for this post is a short two-minute one.  It is called "Caraboat aka Caravan Boat."  Hope you all enjoy it.  :)

The photo I am sharing today is one that I took a few years ago.  I was taking a nice walk in a park when I saw a heron.  You can see the bird in the tall grass.  They birds stand so still, like statues, so it was a pleasant surprise for me to see the bird.  You just need to click on the image to see a larger view.

My ankle has healed quite nicely, and I am very grateful for this.  Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts on my behalf, it means a lot to me.  By the way, have any of you heard that Google is supposed to discontinue the blogreader?  I am assuming this means the blogs we follow that show up on our dashboard.  I saw on another blog that someone said that she registered with Bloglovin and had all the blogs she follows secured this way.  What do you all think?

Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I really appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.

  1. Well, that video made me smile. And it looks like there are an infinite number of variations on the theme. Not sure I would invest in such a thing but it's very interesting to watch going down the river!

    A friend of mine always wanted to live on a houseboat and travel the Intercoastal Canal, but he died before he got the chance. (I don't think his wife would have let him do that anyway!) :)

    The blue heron is one of my favorite birds and we are blessed with many of them in this area. It is a nice shot!

    Glad to hear about your ankle. Sounds as though your week has started off well!

  2. A lovely shot!
    I've never gotten one to stay still for me.
    I never used Google Reader. I'm pretty sure it's already gone.
    Your reading list on your dashboard should stay.

  7. The heron is so stately and beautiful! I'm so glad your ankle is better.

    I don't know what I'm going to do about the Google changes. I've heard of Bloglovin' but don't know much about it.

  9. Praise God about your ankle! So glad to hear that news.
    The "houseboat" is too cute. I wonder how many of them were sold and enjoyed.
    Beautiful bird. You did well to capture such a great shot.

  14. i've actually never seen a heron in real life before. i hope to someday :D am really happy to hear about your ankle. and i think the blogs on your dashboard will be maintained by google, it's just that they're discontinuing their Google Reader feed, which is separate and also used by some for blog-following...

  15. I worry when they make those changes because I'm a computer putz and can't figure out how to keep things from getting lost.
