Heron - Soul Carrier. The last of Naomi Cornock's new card designs :)

From Naomi's description: "Herons are symbolic of balance and stability, self-reliance, tact, wisdom, and knowledge.

In some Celtic traditions these birds are seen to be the reincarnation of Rhiannon, the Welsh goddess.

In Greek traditions it was also believed that after a person died, herons were the ones that carried their souls to Heaven, in other cultures they brought new or reborn souls to earth.

In Egyptian culture the Heron represented renewal and regeneration, guiding souls to the path to rebirth."

Great Blue Heron

This heron was hunting after sunrise and it led to an amazing background of golden grass glistening in the morning sun.

And when out looking in the nature for #Stone, Rock, Boulders etc, you also manage to see a lot of birds perched on them, or just in the vicinity of them (so expanding the scope with some #Bird #Photography for #BlueSkyArtShow) #Nature #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #Egret #Stork #Heron #Cormorant

Today, I go in to volunteer at one of the many member-run galleries here in Humboldt County, the Redwood Art Association. It’s the oldest and biggest—250 members founded 70 years ago.

It’s a good group of folks. I enjoy my time there. It’s a lovely gallery. They’re taking down the current exhibition today and doing intake for their 68th Annual Spring Exhibition show going up next week.

I’ll be submitting these two limited edition signed and numbered prints: Thumbelina and Night Heron.

Black Crowned Night Heron

This is a juvenile Heron, photographed at Rondevlei. The water levels being fairly low, the birds are forced out into the open providing an ample opportunity for photography.

The heron rookery.

Down at the rookery, Great Blue Herons were continually flying in with branches for nest-building.
