2025 Wrap Up - A Year With Scout (and a heron)
(Too long for email again…sorry)
If you are looking for a movie to watch to start off 2026, check out Wake Up Dead Man on Netflix. It is a wonderful whodunit mystery in the Knives Out series by Rian Johnson. And after you watch it, check out MaryAnn McKibben Dana and my conversation about it right here!

I know the rest of this is about Scout but I do want to take a moment to share a photo of the other animal that I have photographed a LOT this year. I haven’t seen herons at Winton Lake much over the last few weeks (they must have a nice warming hut somewhere) but I did see this beautiful art piece of a heron while out on a hike with Rowe Woods with Scout a few days ago. I didn’t see who created this piece so apologies for not crediting it. It is one of the many pieces that Cincy Nature has put up around Rowe over the last year with signs before you see them simply saying, “Look Up.” For scale, it is about 2-3’ long. Isn’t it lovely?
Also this moment with some snow flurries as I left the gym early a few mornings ago…
Ok - onto the year with Scout. And yes, I have photographed Scout more over the last few years than our kids.
Happy new year!
Grace, Peace, Love, Hope, and Joy,
Ed
