I was out jogging in the Ottawa arboretum this afternoon, when I spotted a green heron standing on a log in a small pond trying to eat a frog. I don’t see green herons very frequently, and this one was much more concerned with the frog than with me, so I was able to watch the action at close range. It was a nice surprise since my legs were feeling quite heavy and I was happy for a break from running.
While I stood there a couple dogs came by followed by a guy with his arm in a sling. I pointed out the heron and we fell into conversation. As it turned out, this guy was Max Finkelstein noted canoeist and writer…

Stunning shots!
Roddy say’s you look wet and cold, but that you’re that kind of guy that isn’t even bothered when he’s wet and cold. I told him he’s right – you are that type of guy, and when I would get wet and cold and miserable and complain about it you wouldn’t put up with me. And that’s how I’ve come to be the coolest (cousin of Tim) in the world.
By the way, I’m very dry. And very comfortable.
