Fishing...

 Back on September 19th, I found this Great Blue Heron fishing at a lake near Spring Lake.

I was so happy to see and capture the heron...

but the water in the background was so unappealing I was not thrilled to share them here.

I thought better of that because I am running out of pictures to share,

and anything that might appeal to you guys...

well, you get it...

so here they are, in the order they were taken, he was an intense fisher!

Success!!

This picture shows the herons tongue.

The herons tongue has papillae or spines on it to aid in the positioning and consumption of fish,

which the heron swallows whole.

so happy...

This appears to perhaps be a juvenile, correct me if I am incorrect. 

It is gray between it's eyes, an adult would have a black and white striped cap on top.

I see Great Blue Herons here year round.

Progress Post...

 We are making grand progress on the new building.

This is the 6th and final building we are building in the small business park we have created.

Six buildings, +- seven acres, not all buildings are the same size, 

but they all look the same, more-or-less.

We have a lot of tenants, most are really nice and most pay their rent on time.

Most have been with us a really long time.

This new building is already rented, current tenants, whose businesses are growing,

and they need more space.

So...lets get to the pictures...

This is the front.

All of the outside work is done, the outside of the building will need a little cleaning,

and we will hire a sweeper to clean up the parking lot.

This is the back of the building, 10,000 S.F.

Inside, the framed out area to the left will be an office and bathroom.

The exposed 2 x 4's will be covered with plywood and painted white.

Office and bathroom.

These next pictures are of a different building, 

similar in looks, that happen to catch fire while we were building the other.

As I said, all of the buildings have the same look.

We finally got the go ahead to demolish this building.

Tuesday the work started and by today, Thursday, they should be done.

The hubs has been supervising the demolition.

Working with our insurance company,

and the insurance companies of the four tenants who had a complete loss,

 has been a very slow go.

Almost 2 months later, now the real work begins, the rebuild!
