Beautiful. One of my favorite things to look for on my walks, around the lake, are the herons. Those legs...I'm quite envious of too. haha I love the purple/gold color palette.

Great shadow work on the layers, fantastic page !

We have herons in the little pond behind our house and they are lovely to see. I love the painted effects you've done along with the fabulous blending. Your title font suits the page, too.

oh my! what a stunning page Marianne! just love the whole painterly feel to your layout, very creative and beautifully done! We have lots of heron down here as well........... we even one strolling along our footpath one afternoon, just checking out the neighborhood! lol!

Gorgeous! The bird and your page. The design, the colors, the framing. The photo treatment and blending.

Gorgeous painterly look and informative too. A combination that works so well together Love this.
