Aug 16, 2019 - Heron Still Here

I'm going to keep you in suspense on the geranium for another day or so; it's starting to bloom! But today, I have one more heron picture, to note that this guy seems to have set up camp at the north end of Lost Lagoon. He was still there yesterday.

And I suppose this is old hat to you, but it startled me. In the little strip of garden beside the sidewalk, not even a square metre of space, just outside the beauty shop at the end of our street beside Denman, was a tiny bed of flowers, several of them dead black. Not deep blue or purple, black:

Wow.
