On one of our favourite walks down by the bay I captured the great blue heron sitting on a rock. It is probably waiting patiently for an unsuspecting fish to swim by.
It really looks like there are 2 herons as I also captured the full reflection of it in the water.
I'm always ready with my camera as you never know when that photo opportunity will arise and I can capture it ...
WoW! That's cool! What a capture.
ReplyDeletePeace.
Be still, great heron!
ReplyDeleteUnsuspecting fish draw near.
With your beak you’ll spear
one in a flash, gulp it down,
and resume your deadly stance.
Target practice
I look forward to seeing your poems Mystical, thanks for adding it.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot Linda! We have Great Blue Herons here that my son calls pterodactyls - they're so huge!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteShadow Shot Sunday
That's a spectacular shot, Linda! They're beautiful birds -- my Dad, who used to sculpt and carve birds -- did a carving of a Blue Heron. I must take a photo next time we visit. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection, he looks so pensive!

Beautiful! Beautiful! - I love blue herons - we have a few around here, but they're never close enough at the right time for me to get their pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! I hope the heron didn't have to wait too long for his dinner to swim by. Although he looks quite content just sitting there anyway :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, Awesome photograph! I need to follow your advice and have my camera handy at all times ...
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a gorgeous reflection!
ReplyDeleteNice shot Linda. Valerie
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your nice comments on my photo.
ReplyDeleteIt won't pull the photo up for me Linda, but it sounds like a magnificent picture.
ReplyDeleteThat's strange you can't see the photo Cinj, perhaps if you try again later.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the heron! Thanks for sharing.

What handsome heron! I do not see them as often as before but we hear them & cousins as they fly over head.
