"My Heron" at the Ecology Park Pondsphoto copyright Katherine Tyrrell
"My Heron" goes fishing most days in Willow Pond in the Ecology Park Ponds complex - a little more than two miles east of the Bank of England in the City of London. That's due to the fact that Millenium Project money was invested to create an Ecology Park and increase awareness of the ecological issues facing us all. I'm hugely appreciative of this green and watery space which is the subject of my Ecology Park Pond series.

good post :>)
I know! I pretended to be American........
Fabulous capture of your heron Katherine and great ideas to go greener.
You have such great info here, making it look attractive and so easy to just try and live environmentally healthier. I think many people are put off by the effort to live greener as well as the "green freaks" out there who are pushy and demanding and actually making it look difficult to live green..
That is such a beautiful heron pic!
