Phil how do you keep the salt out of your camera? I love this picture!

  I think my camera is like the alligators here, they both have become quite acclimated to salt water. 😀
  Thanks much for checking this out Andy!

  He looks like he might still be hungry. 🙂 Just one more fish would top off the evening nicely.

Saved the best light for last. Awesome.

  I think the heron knew what he was doing, positioning himself to get the best light on his handsome face. He is not as vain as the alligators, but close.
