Hi everybody,
My name is Dana Pommet and my wife’s name is Josephine. I was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, in 1942, and except for a tour in the Navy, lived there for most of my life. I retired to Delray Beach, Florida in December 2000. We love to travel and photography goes hand and hand with that. I went digital about 5 years ago and started posting November 22, 2008. I have met so many wonderful people on RR and that makes this whole process so much more interesting than just posting photos. Thanks for all the comments and keep them coming.
Update  January 2012: After hiding and denying my mild Dyslexia, for most of my professional life, and now fighting with its advancement – I want to thank you all for putting up with my poor typing skills and spelling problems. I know that my spell checker hates me and I now depend completely on audio books rather then actually reading printed books.  Life marches on!  Â

He is gorgoeus. :))))) I can't blame him for moving South for the winter. LOL!!! :))))) It sounds like he had a most wonderful day to fill his tummy before finishing his journey. :)))) Most excellent capture my friend. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))

Great portrait! He´s so skinny that I doubt he could get fat so soon as Mike thinks! So better you hurry with the camera, before he left the pond. I think he,s only filling the tank and resting after a long travel.

glad there is enough hoppers to keep him full for the journey, must be cool to have a pond like this in your backyard. nice phot Dana.

You have Herons and I have Geese.....Though I have no digital to show the invasion you'll just have to take my word....lol...Day before I had well over a hundred at one point........Every year the flocks seem to grow bigger....You don't think it's all the bread crumbs I throw out there is it Dana???...lol....I don't think they could fit another one in my small pond....One leaves and instantly one arrives....lol..looked like an airport for crying out loud...hahaha...

I didn't know they went up that far north. :) Maybe you'll get to race it back down here. ;) Excellent close-up capture! :)

What a surprise to see him in NH. I never recall ever seeing any herons in CT. I have seen photos of them in snow so I guess I just missed them. A stunning portrait. Hope you can catch the rest.
