I felt rather down on New Years Eve. A lot of things I care not to repeat made 2009 a rather bleak prospect.
Today it snowed, covering all the dirt from the fireworks and I spotted first a kingfisher and later a grey heron along the flood pools.
It was the first time I saw a kingfisher in the wild and he traced my path for over fifteen minutes.
Grey herons aren't that uncommon around here, but to see one less than twenty meters away was special.
Well done, 2009. I'm impressed.
When least I expected it, you brought out the beauty!
