I went out to walk with my camera one day. A man went by, earbuds in place, fast. I go to hear birds and trees, how could I do that with earbuds? That day I saw a great blue heron land in a tree two blocks from my house. When I tried to imitate it's call, it flew over my head and landed in a tree across the street to look at me.
