Listening to the Barking Dogs...

Sitting down reading the morning blogs and all of a sudden Gordon our (Beagle lab mix) starts barking and barking.

The usual banging on the window, yelling at him, threatening to bring him in, %&#$! dog expletives wouldn't stop him. Rose opened the window shade and saw Gordon with his hair all up on his back barking towards the neighbors property, and look what she saw...

A great Blue Heron just standing there looking back at us. You can see the dogs Kennel in the corner of the picture, so this is what he was seeing. We've seen them at our pond and flying overhead before, never just standing in the yard though.

Several rounds of Good Dog Gordon ensued!

Neighbor put in a small pond a year or so back, he was complaining last week that the water level is very low due to the dry summer maybe there was a good frog crop this year.
