The Heron on the Dock is Just Another Fisherman
They might have named Fairhope “Utopia” because that was what its creators had in mind when they designed it around the turn of the twentieth century.
Situated along the shores of Mobile Bay, the Alabama town was founded as a colony by a group following economist Henry George for the purpose of “establishing and conducting a model 1894 by community or colony, free from all forms of private monopoly, and to secure to its members therein equality of opportunity, the full reward of individual efforts, and the benefits of co-operation in matters of general concern.”
Home to many artists and writers, Fairhope was named the second best small town in the south by Southern Living magazine, which made me curious about what number one was: Beaufort, South Carolina.
Well, as I said to Joe, “Today is our Fat Tuesday.” We’re off to the Big Easy to take it easy, or not. – More on our time in Fairhope HERE. Watch our friendly Fairhope heron up close HERE. ____________Our World Tuesday

Seems laid-back and friendly for a heron. Do southern herons squawk with a drawl ?
I can feel the humidity in the pictures. Happy road tripping and shtufffs.

I thought the same thing, Tabor. But then I thought how waiting for a bite of someone else’s work might just be fishing for it after all.
