Today was a gym day, my least favorite workout (because it’s not outdoors). As a sedentary tech worker approaching my mid-50’s, I figure I need to combat muscle loss (and maybe gain a little). The best part is walking there and back. Today a heron was hunting along the banks of the canal.

A great blue heron stalks prey along the near bank of a canal. The water looks green due to the reflection of grass and greenery on the far bank.
