Today's Prompt: Little Blue Heron

It Begins Now.
Have fun with this, we know we will have fun reading all the submissions. Remember to check out our new Monday Challenge as well.
Not a writer? Check out our new Photography Challenge on Mondays.
Every Monday we put out a photography challenge. The photographs are to show the world something involving the USA. It could be a place, a thing, nature, etc, as long as it has to do with the USA. One photograph from Monday will also be used in the next Thursday Writing Challenge as the prompt. Stay tuned for Monday's challenge.
Have Fun :)

I'm awake in the middle of the night. (My night) I may as well write about that time the great blue heron laughed at us canoeing the rapids. Just between you and me, @mariannewest, I figured out why I can't get my sleep right. I'm having another (mild) encounter with cat scratch fever. And yeah technically herons aren't cranes but ... Hmm ...

Oh no. Hope you get all well soon. And a bird is a bird is a bird. (I hope the heron bots don't see this comment or they are going to come after me LOL)

I've been having the same experience. I think they might be bots. Upvoting for curation rewards? Not sure. It is a bit annoying. They have no active posts that I can even flag though..
