Description
I rode my bike down the Santa Ana River path today and spotted this heron trying to hide from me. He was on the bank among the grass growing at the water's edge. Except for cropping and resizing, this is right out of the camera.
BTW- Tara (auntietk) called me tonight all excited. Thru a long, convoluted process, she discovered I've been nominated for Artist Of The Month in the Writer's Gallery. If you're so moved, take a look and if you're really interested, you can vote click here as well. There are some talented people I share this with, I'm humbled and honored to even be considered.

Cool News Girlie!!! I like Blue Herons. I used to have one that would fly in, in the Spring and stayed all Spring and most of the Summer in a little backwash area in the city. I would buy minnows and release them into the water so it add to the Heron's food source!!!

Excellent capture..

I'm a little surprised that my secret heron would just prissily expose himself to you. So easy and casual, too. I don't believe in coincidence. I think you really have become his correspondent. A writer, I should have known.

I'm beginning to feel like Captain Ahab chasing that elusive white whale...will my great heron shot ever come? Marilyn, this is a wonderful clear shot; and I also like how the little bits of white in the water look like stars in a blue sky. Great capture!

well done my friend

you deserved the nomination and more. And this shot is a beautiful shot of the bird, for how it emerges out of the grasses, how it holds its head above them & how the water behind him is more like a sheet of pure blue with lights in it. A very sensitive shot. I came here from your post almost a year later, which you'd postworked...fine work Marilyn.
