Black-crowned Night Heron: "Side-eye"
What is Truth seeing as you live your life, morning, noon, and night?
From glance to glare, seeing beyond the surface into the Truth.
Truth looking back, always without judgment or expectation.
What is Truth seeing as you live your life, morning, noon, and night?
I took these photos May 19, 2025. I stopped at a bridge halfway through my hike when I saw this Black-crowned Night Heron. This heron was giving me the side-eye.
Herons are appearing more and more. Perhaps I am simply noticing herons again.
English - Korean:
Black-crowned Night Heron = 해오라기 / haeoragi (*Roughly translates as Sun Heron. In this case, 해/hae can mean Sun or the colour white.)
... and the herons are noticing you as well! Beautiful work, as always, Neil.
Such great captures Neil! Keep the heron pictures and poems coming. Thank you.
