Sleek Heron Swoops In On Silverado: Napa Photo Of The Week

NAPA, CA — Napa Valley Patch reader took this photo of a heron Thursday at Silverado Resort and Spa in Napa.

Did you know?

The heron symbolizes stillness and tranquility, and how these two things are needed to recognize opportunities. It also signifies determination, because there will be plenty of marshes and ponds that you will wade through in life as well.

Excellent shot, Andy! Thanks so much for sharing.
