    Mooie foto's Bill, van de rivier, de reiger en de meeuwen. Er staat daar 'n flinke stroming in de rivier Bill.
    Groet Kees, een fijn weekend toegewenst.

    I always like watching herons especially when they are on the prowl for food.

    I hope the birds were all able to get a good lunch from the river. Looks like a lovely stream if you Eske me!

    Bill, I just love photos with water in them and these are beautiful!
    To me there is something healing and soothing in watching water flow and hearing it, too.

    Have a wonderful day 🎄

    My home village was called Esk. It's a ghost town now.

    Hi Bill...that heron photo could have been taken here in central Florida! Wait a minute...I think that is one of our herons! Sheesh!. Seriously, I hope you're doing well. I'll be back before long but just in case, I want to wish you a wonderful holiday and a very merry Christmas!
