get thee to a rookery

i spent about two hours tonight observing the great blue heron nests. it’s funny how those birds are so gorgeous and graceful, yet their voices are angry and sharp, like howler monkeys mixed with some kind of dinosaur sound effect. prehistoric howler monkeys. and they have freaky tongues.

i took over 3,000 pictures in april. the vast majority of them were deleted, but still, that’s a lot of pictures. i shot 455 just today…1.9GB worth. but i only kept 91. willpower!
