Description
Good morning everyone. I posted this for Harry after reading his description of the Herons he had seen at a lake near him, he was explaining how the birds are really paranoid and take off when approached, I have the same experience with them out near me. This one here was a lucky shot, I went for a bike ride late Sunday afternoon, and stopped to take a quick break and get a drink, I was sitting on the bank over looking the lake watching a family of ducks play in the water, I had a camera with me but it was in a bag on my bike, and a Heron flew down right next to me I could not believe it, I look for them all the time. So I just sat there amazed and thought Damn no camera haha, so I sat and watched and well I just had to try so I got up quietly and got to my bike got the little Kodak camera I take when I go out on my bike and I knew the batteries were about shot as well, but I was able to get 4 shots before he was on to me and flew away. So Harry this ones for you, I did it in a collage type presentation in your honor sir.. LOL
Hope you like it.
Oh I have some big news. My daughter Jenna who is here in town this week, called me yesterday morning, to tell me she is engaged. Her fiance, Chris is in the Air Force, and his troop was sent to Chile, to help with aid after the earthquake there. We were sitting out on our back deck Sunday afternoon and I asked about his trip and he suddenly got up and walked down the stairs, and I said to Jenna did I say something wrong, and she laughed and said no you asked the right questions he's been dying to show you all his photos from his trip he went to get his laptop. So when he got back he showed me photos of the area, and of a temporary hospital they built there to replace a hospital that had been destroyed, I was amazed at all they accomplished in a three week period of being in that country. They invited me to drive out with them this afternoon to see the location where they want to hold the wedding I looked it up on line last night and it is so beautiful, I am so happy for them both. I was browsing through the gallery earlier, and wow some impressive photos in here today. Very inspiring stuff.
Thanks for your comments and suggestions on my photo below.

I have been trying to get this close for over a month - I also have a rookery by my place - but it is on an island in the middle of the Mississippi - so it is hard to get close - With my zoom at 10X it's ok and at 20X they are to fast for me - I have well over 1000 shots - still you got the bird :) - The eggs should hatch soon - if It ever stops raining I will try again - Take Care - and also I am jelous ;)

Thank you so deeply for remembering me and for this exquisite dedication, Lynell! And I'm also jealous of your good luck with these fantastic shots of the elusive waterfowl, especially when you had to quietly go to get your camera and return without tipping off the bird of your presence. Actually, with their clarity and color, these pics are so well done that they look like John Audubon paintings.
