The Blue Golly Wobbler's Yoga Class

 


We are parked next to the Blue Gollywobbler. She is the boat you see out the window. This morning in my half awakened state as I sipped down my coffee; I watched a blue heron lead her daily yoga class.

I was her only human audience I suppose, but I promise I'm not making this up. Truly, she was magnificent as she lifted her beak toward the skies and held it for the count of five. Then fluffing her wings for three repetitions, she alighted and glided 20 feet into the water.

Now her beard became visible, did you know blue herons have beards? Perhaps she was a guy, blue heron. One should do their research. I will, but for now I will continue the yoga class given by said heron. 

The next step of relaxation was to thrust her face straight down into the water and hold for the count of three. That done, now fly. Up three feet out of the water onto blue and white boat to the right. Fly to the top, O Thou Great, Heron. Here she commenced her wing fluffs, up down, up down, side step left leg, side step right leg. Now point that beak once more to the skies, hold for ten seconds. Now slowly exhale, fluffing that beard again and beak down. Now bring the head forward, slowly, alight into the air twenty feet back to the Blue Golly Wobbler's dock...rest, breath, now point your beak once more to the sky, hold. All done.


Disclaimer 1:

Based on my research, it is not a beard but plumage. And according to Google the male and female look very much alike but the male is larger. So for this reason I will stick with my story line that this one was a female.

Disclaimer 2: 

My imagination isn't like my husband's so don't ask him to verify this blue heron's ability to lead a yoga class. I'm convinced however, that one move was the Downward Dog.
