And God Created Egrets

On one of our trips to Lake Erie, we stopped by the Port Clinton Lighthouse. 
We walked along the beach and searched for lake glass,
 then sat on a bench and watched the waves.
We were preparing to leave when I turned and 
looked toward the two ponds that sit in front of the lighthouse. 

A speck of white caught my attention. 
As I moved closer to the water, an egret stood. 
What a beauty. I am partial to these remarkable birds, with their graceful movements. 
As with any of God's creation, I love to watch them and learn their ways. 

Fun fact: they build their stick nests near the water, but high in the trees. 

Fortunately, this bird was photogenic!

Poetry Month Haiku #1

April is National Poetry Month. One of my favorite types of poetry is haiku. I'll be posting these little poems all month.

I love this particular one written by my husband, Tim. We share a love of lighthouses and watching the great blue heron.
