Description
Thank goodness the weekend is here .. it's been one of dem weeks! :-) This was taken yesterday morning, just down the road from me, on my way to work. I have always wanted to photograph that raft sitting out there in the lake; especially in the morning, when the light is good and water like GLASS. But look at this .......... this time I see a Heron sitting there. I about went off the road, I got so excited, but yet, so very disappointed I only had my pocket camera with me. (Sony Cybershot). So, I figured I'd take what I can get. I had someone tailgating me, so I turned into someones driveway, to let the 'person' go by, and then i went back to this view; stopping on the wrong side of the road and snapped this ONE picture; before it spread its massive wings and flew off. I had to post this, with all the effort I put into it. :-) Ya Like? A little? Hope you all have a great Saturday ... thanks for stopping by and for your visits & comments. Shari

An absolute sublime beauty! The simplicity of the subject is so poetic. The tones and colors are so lovely and the composition of the heron surrounded by water like glass is stunning! Congratulations on both the experience and the image!!

Hi Shari, Went back looking a little through your gallery. I have founds birds to be fascinating subjects of late. Know how you must have felt...wish I had my good camera and all that, but the Sony did a fine job in your hands here. We photographers are very fortunate...we see so many things others miss completely. Bill
