Description

This heron was perched on a cable that's strung across the waterway at Ballard to keep boats from getting too close to the bits they're supposed to keep away from. He sat there very patiently, waiting for fish to come by. It's a good living! :)

Fantastic balance. Has the circus tried to recruit him? Wonderful capture. I uploaded a picture of his cousin today.

Casual elegance...a look I once aspired to achieve. (grunge is so much easier)

A wonderful shot Tara. I like it very much. It feels so peaceful and I can almost hear the gulls too :-)

I was just thinking what PJ said!!! They should be awarded medals for being able to balance on those thin little legs!!! Wonderful capture Dierbaar!! :)

What a great shot--love the view of his feet on the cable, just something about it that really appeals to me!!

His balance was easy and yet amazing. Imagine if you or I landed on a wire like he does...if we could hold on we'd still be pinwheeling around and around on that slender cable:) Beautiful composition and detail.
