just like this heron, i hope you get a running start to whatever it is that will keep you busy this weekend. we'll be playing games and sleeping in late, grilling and reading, baking cookies {and eating them} and as always, dancing.

three days of anything and nothing. i love weekends like that.

  1. Now that sounds like a fabulous weekend, especially the dancing!! I'll be working the next two days, but get to attend a UT football game and meet with my writing group, and then Monday I'm free with NO PLANS! Love it!

  2. Fabulous shots of this heron Beth! And a nice segue into the running start on the long weekend ;) Sounds like you have some enjoyment lined up. Evan has gone to Ottawa, Liam leaves for Hamilton either Sunday or Monday so I'm still going to be organizing and shopping...and then taking time to just "breathe" -- alone, in the house...just me (until Al gets home at night! *snort*). Enjoy xo

  9. Great shots! I love herons and egrets.
    It's always nice when they actually stay put as you creep a little closer.
    Enjoy your weekend!
