Imagine a great blue heron soaring majestically

across Biloxi's Back Bay at sunset...

Picture it gently gliding down to a shallow pool

where it will stand, with it's tall neck outstretched,

like a silent sentinel,

looking out over the expanse of water.

When it moves,

it glides gracefully through the water

on tall, thin legs...

 

(Please wait while applet loads...) 

 

Then it lifts its graceful wings and

effortlessly lifts off into the sky once more.
