Description

I think the great blue heron will always be one of my favorite subjects. The sun was fixing to set off to the left that afternoon and it gave his beak a glowing appearance. Thanks very much for your comments and views! As always, I truly appreciate it! Warm thoughts go out to those suffering through the snow and ice storms this week!

Lovely myriad of lighting and textural effects in this magnificent profile portrait of the Great Blue Heron, perusing the scene for any inquisitive photographers that might be intruding on its idyllic life style.
