Another beautiful day so we headed to Downs Park. After we had walked for a while, decided to sit down on a bench by the water and look for photo ops. After we had been there for a while, i spotted the heron thru the trees. Since we didn’t have the bigger lens with us this is the best we could do. Like the reflections in the water and the leaves scattered around in the water and on shore

Just as we were leaving the park we noticed the heron. We slowly walked closer any managed to get a couple of shots before it flew away

Just hanging out. When we were walking to one of the community beaches, we noticed the heron in a neighbor’s yard. We couldn’t get very close because the yard is all fenced in

I have been trying to get a picture of a blue heron in our neighborhood for a long time. Went for a walk this morning since I figured it might be too hot and humid tonight. As I rounded the curve to the boat launching site, I was shocked to see the heron just posing there on the dock. I turned the camera on, checked my setting and slowly walked closer. Took a bunch of pictures and then slowly walked a little closer took some pictures and then slowly walked a little closer. As an added bonus, a duck swamp by. After I snapped a bunch of pictures, I changed the settings on the camera to action as I figured he was going to take off pretty soon and sure enough – he did – I got a couple of shots before he disappeared. This one turned out the best

You didn’t bring the big lens again – when will you learn? Went for my walk later than usual this morning. When I walked down the path to the marina, I didn’t see the heron but he was there on the way back. I bet if I bring the big lens next time I won’t even see him,

After I left the marina, I checked out the little pond and there was the heron again. He is teasing me – I did not have the big lens – when will I learn!!! Tried taking a few pictures but the grasses and bushes have gotten so high this was the best shot I could get.

It was late before I could go for a walk tonight n search of my photo of the day. As I got close to the beach, I noticed the heron flying around and thought – darn, I missed it again. Then I noticed it landed on the dock. So I stopped and stood still for a minute and then slowly and quietly crept as close to the water as I could. Took several pictures before he took off. This is the best of the bunch. It was dark and I did not have my telephoto lens with me – but it’s closer than the other night. Guess I will have to take the big lens with me until I get a good shot of this guy. Maybe the third time will be the charm

Now where did I dock my boat?
What a beautiful day and a beautiful evening for a walk. When I got to the first beach, I saw the heron fly by. Wow that’s the second time that happened to me. Oh well – one of these daysI will be able to get a photo. Then I walked over to the marina. Sat one the end of the pier – took some pictures and then I looked over at one of the piers and noticed the heron standing on the pier. I only managed to get one photo before he took off. When I uploaded it, I asked my husband what should I title it and he came up with where did i dock my boat. Perfect
