Heron standing on dock
My husband and I were following a heron as it flew along the shore of Lake Simcoe. Finally we saw it on a dock. We didn't see it land...but there it WAS! So I sneaked up on it.
Standing quietly
I crept silently around a hedge to take this shot. But wait!
Hmmm. A cobweb!
I was sneaking up on "dock art."
Visit My World Tuesday HERE to see tons of photos from around the world.
Oh how funny!! It looks so very real. I wonder where the other one flew to.
ReplyDeleteHilarious!! MB
Hahaha. Thanks for starting my day with a laugh.

I was thinking, Wow, how'd you get so close. Ha, so funny.
ReplyDeleteYour sneakiness paid off!
ReplyDeleteA regal bird. And superior snaps! I'm surprised he let you get so close...

Very funny! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny! Though, in your defence, they are known to stand still for hours...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ... I love herons ... and webs ....... and decoys ... !!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny. I did have a heron on my dock - a real one! It was very peculiar looking!
ReplyDeleteha, very cool shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
What great shots and oh how funny to find out that it wasn't really...but you could have fooled us in those first couple of captures. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteSmiles
I would definitely have been fooled :)

Seen on My World Tuesday
Sneak up on Heron artwork: Check!
ReplyDeleteSneak up on Garden Gnome: Next....
Thanks for the great story and the photos! :-) I would have done exactly the same thing as I love a good heron shot and they are so hard to get. Here is my entry.
ha! It would have fooled me too, for sure. Good thing you "snuck up" on it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't help it! I laughed out loud. Lois Anne didn't even notice. She knows I'm a little nuts.
ReplyDeleteSo funny, EG. Next time I want you to catch it in flight! :-)
Not hard to be fooled by such a realistic offering, but oh the fun it must be to watch others make that discovery!
ReplyDeleteI would have been fooled as well.
ReplyDeleteHilarious … you really had me fooled! That is an excellent and realistic piece of art.
ReplyDeleteLOL..I love It..You could have fooled me! Looks so real!
ReplyDeleteLOL...I thought it was real! Great shots, nice that he doesn't move! You bee in the flower post is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't mentioned the cobweb I probably wouldn't have noticed it. It's a good picture anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a realistic heron...I thought it was real until I read your post...lol!
ReplyDeleteI would never have noticed the cobweb, you have made me laugh. It does look very real.
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious. It would have fooled me. Great shots and made even better by the story that goes with them.
ReplyDeleteOh, this is hilarious!! I love it! And it does indeed look so very real! After fighting connectivity problems all morning this was just the laugh I needed! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
This made me chuckle. I would have done exactly the same thing - thanks for making me laugh on a challenging day!
ReplyDeleteI remember thye herons from when I was a kid. I lived on a boat and they would come perch on the docks...sometimes sleep there overnight. Beautiful birds!
ReplyDeleteThat was funny. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smile you gave.
What a cruel trick that heron played on you. A dummy making you out to look like a dummy.
ReplyDeleteThat's hiarious! I wonder how many people have made the same mistake.
ReplyDeleteA while ago one of my neighbours had a pair of plastic Canada Geese on the lawn. My dog thought she would seize the rare opportunity for a quick kill, but looked quite sheepish when she realised they weren't real!
That's funny. It looks so very realistic!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful catch in all three!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI looked at all your photos for the past two months when I wasn't blogging and I really missed a lot of great photos! The bee below this latest post is fantastic also. I am so glad I saw the 2 sunsets with the benches especially -- and that darling bear bench! Marvelous!!!!!!
I was also impressed with your dragonfly but the damselflies mating was really a unique catch! I enjoyed all your flower collages, birds, butterflies, critters, reflections, the turtle, old cars and the round house! My favorite flower was the British soldier lichen. Never seen such a thing! I am sorry that I missed wishing you a great Canada Day.
I hope to keep up and catch up on a few more people each day but being gone two months, it is a slow process for me. But, I am back to blogging regularly now.
Lovely shot of the heron - the water looks a bit choppy - not a good day for sailing.
ReplyDeleteheheheh, I was going to say Good shot. Were you disappointed. If you didn't say, we won't have known.
ReplyDeleteYou have stalked well!! Beautifully captured!
