Spending the holidays with family in Santa Cruz California,
and spied this young egret on Christmas Day.
He had romance on his mind,
but his timing was all wrong.
He expected affection,
prior to,
fine dining!
Live and learn.
He got the dinner,
but not the date!
Cheers to you from sunny Santa Cruz~

A delightful visual story — except for the suitor, I mean.
The suitor will likely live and learn, otherwise he will not survive, which also goes to show, birds are just a bit smarter then some humans. đ
Beautiful!!
Merci beaucoup mon ami!
