Last week I ran up to the post office on my way out to Katie’s park. Katie was in the back seat. My camera was on the passenger seat. I dropped off the letters that needed to be mailed and was headed to Katie’s park when I noticed these two having an intense conversation.
Or something.
“I’m tired of discussing it.”“We haven’t solved anything yet.”“But I don’t WANT to talk about it anymore!”“We should be able to talk about it like rational adults.”“But I don’t WANT to!”“I swear, you never let anything just go!”“OMG, you are just too much!”“Whatever.”
I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.
Reminds me of a conversation I was having with my wife last night during the World Series game…. Brought back memories of watching baseball with my dad, or any sport with him for that matter. Sometimes watching and listening is the way to go…. Patience is key in life. Peace.
They are so fun. We have a lot of them around lately, but you rarely catch them dancing (or arguing) like this. At least not when you have a camera with you.
Wow, you were there at the right time, to record this intense interaction, haha! Sorry I have been AWOL last few months but it had to do with a blog change and computer change at the same time (going from Apple to Windows). Now am slowly looking up my friends ! Am leaving my permalink, oh and I also changed my username – not Jesh anymore but Emille:) Have a great week!
Your picture/caption combinations made me smile. Perhaps it’s a courtship ritual at the wrong time of the year? I often see a solitary heron but never a pair walking like this.

Nice photos. Great to catch the cranes for several shots. Maybe that is a mating dance?
