"Flight of the Heron"

D.M. Le Bris Copyright 2013

Many heron land in our small pond during Spring, Summer and Fall.

Yesterday during the snow storm I was thinking of them, 

flying over our house, 

looking for a path through the trees to land safely into the pond.

They are so beautiful! I fell in love with these majestic birds.

I am always excited to watch them standing still,

getting ready to catch a frog or a fish,

almost invisible as they blend into the brush.

Now, my binoculars sit idle on the table,

waiting for Spring to return.

Until then, during this winter,
I will make a series of paintings celebrating their flight.
"The Flight" is the first of the series.
