Blue Heron, 24 April 2017, Chamblee, GA
I spent about fifteen minutes following a blue heron around a pond near my office this morning and making video clips, which I edited in iMovie. This is the finished product. There's been at least one, maybe multiple herons visiting the pond here for several years, but I'm not certain this is the same one … Continue reading Blue Heron, 24 April 2017, Chamblee, GA
Blue Heron, Chamblee, GA, 13 April 2017
Some video of a blue heron hanging out at a pond in Chamblee, GA. I was using the zoom, but I still managed to get about five or six feet away while making the video. I'm not sure if this is the same heron I normally see here. There's a creek not far away, which … Continue reading Blue Heron, Chamblee, GA, 13 April 2017

Zebra Finch, Chamblee, GA, July, 2016

Junk Shop, Chamblee, GA, 16 October 2015
I pass this shop all the time and enjoy seeing the variety of interesting items on the lawn. I've always thought, if I ever have a house, I'd like to bring some of the larger items home to jazz up the outdoors. What yard would be complete without a giant chicken. It's not the Big … Continue reading Junk Shop, Chamblee, GA, 16 October 2015
Blue Heron, Atlanta, GA, 1 April 2014
The pond near my office complex on Clairmont Road is home to numerous ducks, a couple of swans, and depending on the season, Canadian geese. Every now and then, a blue heron shows up. Last April, I was fortunate enough to catch some photos of one. Whenever one shows up, it usually hangs out for … Continue reading Blue Heron, Atlanta, GA, 1 April 2014
