#ScribesAndMakers Oct 27. Write Alt text for this image.

Alt text is in alt text, as it's supposed to be.

A bird (I believe it is a Great Blue Heron) stands, neck tucked in, on a log sitting in an algae-covered pond. Some leaves float on top of the pond and at the very top of the image, the rocky shore of the pond can be seen.

@JessMahler Good job. I didn't include the photo in mine, just the link to it.

@Nisaa
Thank you!

I think it can work both ways, not having the image gives folks who never need to use alt text a feel of what it's like.

@JessMahler @Nisaa it could be interesting to have just all the descriptions without the image. It's fascinating to read so many different perspectives on the same photo. What stands out to each person, how they describe the different elements, descriptions of the content of the image as well as the image itself, sometimes a narrative to go along with it. And it's interesting as a sighted person to think about what I would make of all these descriptions if I couldn't see the photo.
