Great Falls, Virginia

Herons hunting at the falls. Looking for food and perhaps courting.
The time of year was mid-summer.
Down river from the larger rocks provides a calmer settings
In the picture above you can see small ducks in the water.
This gives some perspective as to how big the herons are.
Here is a couple of cormorants. The double-crested cormorant has an orange throat and green eyes.
I do have a picture or two that show the green eye at closer range. Perhaps I will post it later.
One couple down river and one couple up river.
Geese all in a row.
Here is a picture of three cormorants. I can see the green eyes in all three.
You might only be able to see one. Look to the far left.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
