I Haven't Told You About No. 50


It happened a few mornings ago with the appropriate fanfare. I had just stepped out onto the deck as a Great Blue Heron landed in the tree over the Springy Chair Garden. It was a reflex movement that turned me around immediately to get out of his site and retrieve the camera. I got one shot before he flew away (enough to identify him) and this shot of him just before he disappeared. You can't go to any significant body of water without seeing one of these but this was the first time I had seen one here!

I occasionally see one of these on my walks along the creek. They are pretty impressive to see just standing there but then when I get to see it fly it is majestic!
