De Soto park is famous for its herons - since I was all alone at the lagoon I took my time and very gradually walked into the water after a while, the herons must have looked at me as a fellow heron...a weird and big one for sure... but nevertheless, they were absolutely oblivious of my presence so that I could approach them to within a couple of meters, resulting in some very exciting photo opportunities, eg of this little blue heron
