Resting and Watching… A recent foggy trip to Vashon Island, one of the rewards I gathered with my Pentax K7 and a long lens were a couple decent shots of a Blue Heron. Here resting atop a piling along the eastern shore in Puget Sound with a team of Mallard ducks flying in formation behind, a heron surveys his world. There is just simply something attractive and quite captivating about these birds, don’t you agree?
very pretty.
Thanks!
Great shot Madge…the birds in the background are a nice touch.
Thanks, Bruce… you know I contracted with a bird trainer to get the ducks to fly by just then… not, just kidding! But is was a rather happy coincidence! ;-)
Captivating I agree. Nothing like that around here.
You probably have equally captivating birds there that we don’t have here… I’m sure…
Great shot, Madge. I love blue herons. :)
Thanks, Celeste… always a treat to have a 2-A-Week friend stop by…
Yes, ma’am, I wholeheartedly agree w/ you! You snapped at the perfect moment… love the ducks in the background =)
Thanks, Tricia… the ducks were a fortuitous moment!
This is really a wonderful photo, the birds in the background make the difference!
Thanks, Karl…
Great shot Madge. B
Thank you so much! :-)
Wow – what a fabulous shot! Stunning.
Thank you…
This is a beautiful capture. You live in such a wonderful place. I live very far from you, but I was fortunate to get to visit a friend who had temporarily moved to Seattle about 10 years ago and I loved it! Thanks for linking up with this or that thursday!
Thanks Deb for visiting… I’m so glad you’ve had a chance to visit Seattle, it is a beautiful place. I hope to link up to ‘this or that thursday,’ again!
Fabulous shot!
Thank you..
Beautiful shot of the heron! The ducks in the background really make it a cool scene! Nicely done. Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate it, Madge!
Thanks for the return visit… and kind comment.
The ducks behind the heron really add to this photo. Good job!
