Discovered an island being used as a rookery for Great Blue Herons; they and their nests were everywhere. The lake is…

… or any other time of day for that matter, but there is something special about the mornings as all of life is preparing to live another day on this remarkable little planet we call home … and we get to choose what kind of day we will have and how we react to what others say and do.
