The Great Blue Heron

I sure do get excited when I get the opportunity to photograph one of these beautiful birds! We were on our way into the city, not yet far from home when I spotted this fella, and had my husband slow down, stop and back up. Luckily, he had encouraged me to bring my camera because you never know!

    Fabulous shots. Herons remind me of great big, ungainly, bombers...

And I love reading the blogs of others as well. It's far better than TV. Click on the picture for all the details, and to register your blog. Here is what I'm offering up as my giveaway.
