Pleasant Morning at Civic Gardens

Civic Gardens Area, London, Ontario       22c, sunny

The last couple of days with the humidity and high temperatures feeling like 40c, I stayed indoors.
Today, the air is clearer so I decided to go to Civic Gardens in hoping to find butterflies.  I had no luck, saw 2 Cabbage Whites. 
I walked through the gardens and went to the Pond where the water lilies are.  There are fish in the pond and I've seen a frog there once.  Took some photos and went to the river to the walking bridge.

At the walking bridge, I can see a Great Blue Heron in the distance.  I love herons, so I spent time taking photos and watching it. 

 Then it flew under the bridge to this big rock on the other side.
