Nice Hat!, Great Blue Heron, Burro Creek AZ, March 28, 2011
It's such fun to find interesting, unexpected things in my photos. That rock face watching the heron catching some early morning sun made me giggle.

Crayfish Chimney
Late one afternoon I sat upon my camera case beside the path where it wound through the darkest part of the woods, down near the pond, and watched a crayfish building his "chimney," the land entrance to his underwater tunnel. He had just started to work above the ground when I first arrived. He came up through the moist black earth, carrying a ball of it between his two enormous fighting claws. Using the claws as hands, he spread the soil around the hole to form the base of the chimney. He then backed down the hole and after several minutes came up with another armful.
