Great Blue Heron
Kate
01:13h
All summer there would be one or two great blue herons standing in the water at the creek when I'd drive or walk by. If I walked up, they'd fly off long before I'd get close. If I was driving and slowed down too much, to get a photo, they'd do the same thing. So I looked forward to Everett coming home. That way he could have the digital camera ready to shoot from the window of the vehicle, and I wouldn't have to come to a complete stop and scare off the shy birdie. This week we finally had success and Everett got a picture, although we had to keep moving. Oh yes; and the bird watched us carefully, too, moving almost imperceptibly sideways until finally it spread its great wings and flapped away. The zoom feature isn't anything to brag about with this camera we've got, so it's not much of a picture. But ... there you have it. ***
