Ashland was chosen as one of “The 20 Best Small Towns in America” by Smithsonian. But today’s photo comes not from Ashland but from one of the other 20 Best Small Towns, Laguna Beach. I took this photo of a Great Egret (Great White Heron) this past Sunday when I was exploring Laguna Beach.

This isn’t the first time Ashland has made one of these “Best of” lists. Ashland was previously chosen as one of the “Best Places to Retire” and “Best Places to Live” and “Best Ski Towns” and “Best Places to Thrive” and “Best Town Ever“.
