12/21/12... and I feel fine

It's the end of the world as we know it.  Yeah, REM.  Today was busy; I spoke with Essence and Inspiration and ate free pizza-- really what more could I ask for?  I thought the heron had abandoned our creek for somewhere warmer.  Instead, the bloke stood morose and somber-- he was ready for the end of the world... and a photo shoot.

Isn't he lovely?  I love his coloring, and how his feathers are blowing in the wind. He looks cold.
