This Great Blue Heron actually looked like a fake cut-out against the water as he sailed by before touching down!
He slid in gracefully, for a nice smooth landing . . . 
And then strolled around looking quite elegant 🙂
I don’t think he was even foraging for something to eat. . . !
Just strutting, looking very debonair – and showing off his reflection. Very handsome~!
Handsome indeed! Wonderful photos.
Thanks, Belinda! Enjoy the rest of your weekend ☀
Excellent shots Carol! I’m impressed by the sharpness and true colors! 🙂
Thanks, HJ. It was one of those picture perfect moments when I spotted this heron out over the water.
Stunning BJ, the blue-gray background and reflection make for a beautiful artwork.
How kind of you, AB. I also enjoyed the reflections and the blues and grays here.
Beautiful sequence!
Nice shots, thanks, BJ.
Glad you like them! He was fun to watch, wasn’t he?
Very handsome indeed! Great captures.
This GBH was so graceful and striking as he strolled around in the water – a pleasure to see.
Wow! So amazing and proud!
I love that, Yaffa – Proud is such a wonderful word for this guy.
I know what you mean “fake cut-out look”. I’ve noticed that same effect on my shots, always of this same bird. Great photos!
Curious, isn’t it? I’ve also noticed this effect before in mine and others’ photos of the great blue heron. I wonder what the cause of this is??
Gorgeous series, one of my favorite birds! So nice of him to fly in for a photo-op session! 🙂
My thoughts exactly, Donna :- D. Thanks for your kind comment and for stopping by!
Lovely images, BJ.
Thank you so much, Donna – sorry for my long delay~!
