She spent many very happy days floating in her kayak\, and the herons became so accustomed to her quiet presence that she was able to beautifully document their private grandeur for all to experience.  \nShe is greatly missed. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Babsje_HappyBabsje Yoga Heron 3Babsje Yoga Heron 2Great blue heron preening Columbus Day weekend.Babsje great-blue-heron-fishing-near-reedsBabsje Yoga Heron 1 \n\n \n \n \n \n  \nVisit the BFL to enjoy Babsje’s stunning photography collection\, Great Blue Herons: A Study of Patience and Grace. \nPhotographs are available for purchase upon request \nAll proceeds from sales will be donated to Massachusetts Audubon Society \n  URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/herons/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:All Ages,Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://baconfreelibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Babsje-Yoga-Heron-1-e1715015816680.jpg GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240521T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240521T183000 DTSTAMP:20260421T100559 CREATED:20240325T152943Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240325T153315Z UID:48356-1716310800-1716316200@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Slow Stitching DESCRIPTION:In a busy and chaotic world\, sometimes we just need to slow down\, relax\, and take a few breaths and not worry about creating a product\, but enjoying the process.
