Description
I had a neat experience today with my camera. I was going to the pond when a Green Heron became startled and flew off but I had barely sat down when he returned.
At first he landed about 100' away on the end of a dock on the far side, where he preened, stretched, yawned and essentially ignored me for 15 minutes. That is a bit to far away for my 55-200mm lens but you use what you got, lol.
I managed to get a few good shots and then he flew again but this time to a dead stump in the middle of the pond. That brought him within 50' of me.
Here he repeated his routine for another 15 minutes or so and I repeated mine, the result of which is that I got a few better shots.
My thanks to those who took the time to comment on previous postings. The feedback is appreciated.
In addition to this fine experience, I have also learned (with the help of Photomark, Meisiekind, and auntietk) how to add image links to other images in my gallery so I thought I might see if some older postings could get a second chance. So for those interested----
Double Dog-Trot House from Nov 2005, unfortunately it no longer exists due to a fire.
