Heron Today, Gone Tomorrow is located at 903 6th Avenue NE in Decatur, Alabama. Many species of herons are found in Alabama and are usually seen in ponds or creeks. One of the most common herons in the Southeast is the great blue heron, a medium-sized wading bird with long legs, a sharp-pointed bill, and a long neck. 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. This mural was done by Chandler Hayes.

Art teacher, Beth Allison Young worked closely with Tracy in helping to organize a partnership with three elementary schools, Alabama Center for the Performing Arts, and the community of Decatur.
