On Friday afternoon, I was fortunate enough to have the wonderful opportunity to board a mighty pirating vessel and travel along the dangerous waves of the Rock River with good ol' Captain No-Beard. Seriously, though, what a wonderful jaunt down the Rock on the pontoon around the little island where we came across these spectacular blue herons. I've been trying to get close enough to these new-age dinosaurs for awhile now, and finally, my friend Bob helped me accomplish this task. For those of you who don't know, this little island in the middle of the Rock used to be home to an amusement park prior to the dam being placed on the river. I hear that on some nights, you can still hear the laughter of children who tried to swim across to the island when they didn't have money to pay for a ferry ride.
