"It's cold down here!" |
Another heron, in the distance, was smooth and elegant; this one had all his feathers fluffed out. Keeping himself warm, inside a feather quilt.
He was as alert as the little brown bird; I took one more step towards him, and he flew away, grumbling.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caminaba por encima de las piedras del rompeolas, mirando el musgo y los líquenes que crecen en las rocas, y tratando de acercarme a un pajarito café, sin éxito: el pájaro tiene mejores ojos que yo: cuando vi a esta garza abajo al borde del agua.
Traía todas las plumas paradas, como para hacerse una colcha de plumas. Hace frío allí entre rocas y algas marinas.
No pude acercarme más; estaba tan atenta como el pajarito café; di un paso más, y se levantó y se fue volando y quejándose.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
