Leaving The Marsh | Phil Lanoue Photography

Leaving The Marsh

I initially spotted this great blue heron perched on a stump in the marsh pond yesterday just prior to sunset. As I brought up the camera to take a look at him he picked that moment to take off and leave the area. I grabbed this photo as he swooped by me, possibly on his way to the evening roost.

  Thanks a lot Molly! I like to hang around for a bit at that time of day for a chance to get something in nice sunset light.

And here I was thinking YOU were leaving the marsh. EEH GADS !! That can never happen!

  Heh heh I didn’t think of that when I wrote the title.
  No I can’t leave the marsh, and have those poor little alligators all alone. Who’s going to tell them jokes and entertain them?! So, a gator walks into a bar and says… 😀

  Thanks Sylvia! He did have a determined look on his face. A date could be it. Getting to be *that* time of year. 🙂
