And a Heron in a Pine Tree

A number of pictures from the recent visit to Mount Auburn Cemetery are now posted over on Flickr - click on the picture to see more of them.

This first one captures a great blue heron in a pine tree - it escaped there when we started it along the pond edge. A number of reasonably good pictures resulted, but, sadly, we were not able to get close enough for a really great picture.

Of course, I feel that the tree it is perched in is very beautiful even without the feathered ornamentation...
