Dragonflies & The Great Blue Heron

For more than a decade, Great Blue Herons had a special meaning for Jim and Judi. During those years, Jim had no hint this special meaning would one day have a much deeper significance.
The couple enjoyed watching the graceful blue herons from the deck of their summer cottage on Kootenay Lake, in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. The five-foot tall birds would feed less than 100 feet away, drawn by schools of minnows to a small tree-screened bay below their deck.
They also watched the long-legged birds fish patiently in the reedy shallows of a sheltered cove where Jim and Judi often anchored their boat overnight. The blue heron became their mascot of sorts.
