Where The Wild Things Are

Still Life With Heron
Neck stretched out,
looking quite at home,
in the middle of the city!

Volksgarten

You here?
The large bird looks at me,
now hunched down,
neck bent over its breast,
after the first click
of my camera.

Watch Your Step
he mumbles,
looking over his shoulder,
watching me stumble and
almost fall into the pond.
I feel flustered,
like a little girl
who has encountered Big Bird
on her way to school!

"Here's Looking At You,
Kid!"
He is gorgeous,
isn't he?

A Grey Heron
in the Year of Darwin
with the Natural History Museum
in downtown Vienna
as a background,
if that is not worthy
of a newsbreak,
what is?

"Nor Sleet nor Snow nor Heron"
can stop Merisi
from bringing your the latest news
from the
Snow and Heron Capital
on this dreary November 3, 2009!
