Up And Away
A great blue heron arises from the water on a winter afternoon and then takes flight across the marsh lit by setting sunlight.

Thanks and I liked that first one a lot too. I was even going to only post that one but figured I would toss in the next two as well. 🙂

The late afternoon, early evening light hits the salt marsh area just right at those times. Nice to be out there then.

Hey thanks LSD! I liked the lighting here too and was glad big blue stayed low allowing me to get him against that background.

That first image is really unique. He is hovering like those airplanes on aircraft carriers that go up and then the engines rotate and they fly away.

Hi Phil,
I haven’t looked at your blog in quite a while and I’m just playing a little catchup. ;o) I really love this set. I believe the great blue herons are my favorites in the marsh. As always, thanks for sharing your wonderful photos, my friend.
Take care,
Mick
