As much as I enjoyed watching kids and kids at heart play in the downpour, I was wishing that the rain would stop before our afternoon expedition in a skiff. when my wish was not granted, I went out anyway, camera equipments in tow.

I'm glad that I did not let the weather deter me from my meeting with the wild lives. Or else, I wouldn't have met the ones that still showed up despite "the inconvenience", especially this striated heron. In him, I saw my unrivaled determination (shameless pat in the back) as the only one on the skiff with a "somewhat water-proof" camera that day. :-)

As the late Vivian Greene put it, “Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.” How do you like the dance that I improvised? ;-)
