Catching Some Rays, Great Blue Herons, Burro Creek AZ, March 28, 2011
The five Great Blue Heron pairs nesting on this cliff spend their day leisurely tending the nest and each other. What a privilege it was to be able to watch them for a day.

More Toward Realism than Fantasy
I've always been drawn more toward realism than fantasy, because it seems to me that realism is endlessly interesting and finally indeterminable. Realism is a species of fantasy that's much more integrated and hard-core than fantasy itself, but if you are ready to come to grips with the inevitable slipperiness of most available facts, you come to recognize that realism is not a direct approach to the truth so much as it is the most concentrated form of fantasy.
