I have two different Great Blue Heron encounters that I am sharing in this post. The first one begins in Prospect, at the Icelandic Horse Farms, near Fox Hollow Farm...one of my favorite places out my way.
The second entry, that works along side the first were taken at the lake where my daughter Hillary lives~

you got some great in-flight shots. 'give me a V!' 'give me an M!' :)
ReplyDeleteA great series of photos of the Heron. That is a beautiful bird!
ReplyDeleteThey are such majestic birds. Here we call it the white-faced heron to distinguish it from others of the species.
ReplyDeleteI have one that regularly visits one of our farm dams in the summertime.
Hope you are doing well with your monitor.
Herons are one of my favorites and these are wonderful shots, Mary! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos!

Lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteI love it that you can see the pale color under its feet as it is flying away! I think it is always fun to see this bird!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Heron photos.
ReplyDeleteI posted a comment, I thought earlier. Came back for a second look and I didn't see it so I'll try leaving another to tell you how much I enjoyed your beautiful photographs. Beautiful flight snaps, and the water looks amazing here. I love photos of Mother Nature.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.

Wonderful photos Ms. Mary. I love the in flight shots. It is almost like you are there along side of them while in flight. Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHow is our baby hawk doing these days? Any updates?
WoW...you got some amazing shots!! this is one of my favorite birds to "shoot" and he can be very elusive!!
ReplyDeleteHi there - nice set of pictures. I like the ones with the contrast between the surface of the water and the texture of the bird.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Stewart M
Beautiful picture series shows you right. Wishing you a good day :) Hanne Bente / hbt.finus.dk
ReplyDeleteGreat series! Specially the flight shots over the water!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the second place it is very beautiful and the heron looks great. :)
ReplyDeleteMary, so beautiful! That one with the wavy reflection in the water is my favorite. As for the squirrels, what were you thinking?! : ) Keeping you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!
ReplyDeleteI really like those flight shots over the rippled water.
Hope you're feeling well.
Great shots of the Great Blue Herons Mary. Love those in-flight shots!
ReplyDeleteYou do present some wonderful collages in your posts...
ReplyDeleteIsnt it funny that the Heron (and I guess most species of heron) are always either captured by surprise or long distance shots, or they are flying away from the camera...
I cant remember a Heron on film coming towards me or the camera person.
