That’s an amazing heron picture. We have herons that perch on our breakwater in Powell River. They are such majestic birds. My pictures are of a mackerel sky before the storm. I invite you to come see. - Margy

That is the most amazing Blue Heron photo I have seen!!
I had a Blue Heron sitting right out my back door on my neighbor’s porch for hours on July 5, 2005.
I got a few shots but it was through my kitchen window.

This is a wonderful transition from sky to water reflection. I especially love the water droplets giving us hint of where the water begins and sky ends. Definitely this is a special capture!

This will make .68 cents worth. that’s a lot of comments.
What do I like about this photo?
Perfect Silhouette type reflection with just a bit of color..
Reflection of clouds.
Colors.
Sharpness.
Little circles of water drops on the surface of the still pool of water.
Magnificent.
Thanks for the visit,
Troy
