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

When I walked outside this morning to get the paper the sky was beautiful – lots of pink.  Went back inside to get camera, coat and by the time I got back a lot of the colors had faded.  Drove to the marina but not much color there so headed to work.  As I was heading toward Annapolis, decided to drive to park by Naval Academy to see if I could get any good pictures.  Was really happy with results and it was hard to decide which one I liked the best
