Green Heron/ Weekend Reflections

 Juvenile green heron and it's reflection

Stalking this green heron has been my obsession for the past few weeks. On Wednesday, the heron humoured me and sat for a photo shoot.

    I didn't know there was a GREEN heron. I would have pursued one if I ever took a picture of something that wasn't a person. Or a pair of shoes.

    I suppose he thinks you might stop stalking him now that you got your shot. But we both know you won't!

    We have several varieties of herons here on the Gulf Coast but I am not sure that we have the green herons. This is a great capture and congratulations on getting this young bird to sit for your photo opp!

    I like this one! I prefer the first shot. When I saw these images my brain clicked into B&W mode because I know these photos would be even better in mono. LOL
