The other night I was at Ken Thompson Park on Sarasota Bay when I heard a loud flapping sound behind me. It was this great blue heron landing right next to me. Since it was almost sunset, I figured it was there to hunt for a nice meal. And, camera in hand, I was ready to tag along on the hunt! Slowly, it wandered along the shore. But, it really didn't appear to be looking for anything. Then, it snapped up this twig and within seconds it was airborne. I'm sure she's building a very nice nest.

Wow, you caught that great shot just in time before she flew off. Yesterday I had a great photo op, but alas, no camera. I should start carrying one with me all the time.
You capture such neat wildlife shots.
A very fine photo! You were ready 'cause I know how fast they can fly off!
I was able to capture some really great heron pictures down by Sarasota Bay near Van Wezel lately.
This is a great photo.
A fantastic portrait. She is a realy beauty!
That is a nice one. She doesn't show signs of flying away.
The masthead photo is spectacular.
Jealous of this experience! What a treat!
I think this is one for your portfolio!
