At The End Of The Day…
Last week we were at the marsh pond as the day was winding down, but we weren’t the only ones enjoying the sunset. This great blue heron, having concluded his fishing for the day, appeared to be contemplating the colorful sunset before finally heading off to roost for the night.

Another wonderful serene set of images. I wonder what it is about birds that is such a treat to look at.
Glad you enjoy seeing the birds! Thanks for checking out these pics!
Lovely bird, lovely reflections, Phil. I have his cousin over here at our lake. 🙂
Thanks much Sylvia!
I just saw my boy again this afternoon and he said to tell his cousin to stop eating all the fish, save some for him.
Hey, I’m only the messenger. 😛
😆
I love that second one bathed in orange…They are all beautiful, they walk with such grace don’t they!
Thank you for looking and I appreciate your very nice comments!
So beautiful, and so artistic… Thank you dear Phil, love, nia
Thank you Nia, I’m glad you had fun looking at these bird photos!
I’m really starting to envy you….
Awww…you are such a sweetie. 😳 🙂
I think I prefer this type of wildlife photography where the subject is placed artistically in the landscape adding to the view if you wish – think I failed to get across what I meant here.
I got ya Scott and I really appreciate your thoughtful comments. Thanks
Cheers

Great silhouettes and a good reminder to use that approach.
Thanks, I have to keep reminding myself. Tried a couple more tonight in fact. 🙂
I sometimes wonder if animals see the beauty around them like we do. These photos makes me believe that they do. They are really beautiful!
I often hesitate to apply human emotions to wild animal actions and then try to draw conclusions, but there has to be some consideration and appreciation for a really nice day vs. an awful weather day I would expect.
Thanks a lot Molly!
Wonderful atmosphere.
Thanks I appreciate you looking.
Peaceful feeling I wonder if animals appreciate the sunset like we do it does seem like it. It also seems like they enjoy watching the sunrise too. Now you have me wondering. :+)
This guy sure seemed to be relaxing and enjoying the overall pleasantness of the scene. I did not see it attempt to fish at all, it was merely just hangin’ around enjoying lfe. Well maybe…
Wonderful photos, Phil. Is this all natural light or did you use some filters? Thanks
Thanks very much for looking and commenting!
All natural light, no filters or special processing, this was how the scene looked. 🙂
Those are beautiful silhouettes! Very calming.
Thank you. I’m happy you enjoyed these photos. 🙂
So nice! Your nature shots are beautiful.
