I followed the heron in flight and she landed. In a tree! Close by! This is my next photo, hooray for zoom lenses.

island door
This is for Thursday Doors and it’s also a stealthie. I like the reflection.
follow
I was trying to follow the heron in flight. This is not in focus, but I like it anyhow! I need a tripod and practice, or just lots more practice…. Photographing synchronized swimming, timing is important, but at least they stay in the pool.
And look at those wings!
flight
For the Daily Prompt: coincidence. I had my camera ready and caught this. Coincidence or skill? Some of each, and trying to catch birds in flight is very much like trying to catch synchronized swimmers out of the water. I photographed synchro for seven years.
Great blue
For Wordless Wednesday.
flit fast
For the Daily Prompt: focused.
Walking on Herron Island, there were stellar jays and woodpeckers and small birds flitting fast. Much harder to catch in a focused photograph than the great blue heron standing still. I like the light through the trees anyhow….
fishing raft
A visit to Herron Island this past weekend, and lots of herons. Are they herrons there? Both mornings this heron was fishing from the raft in the early morning.
jazz in the park
This is for photrablogger’s Mundane Monday 128. I walked past Travis Park in San Antonio going from the hotel to the conference center. I went on both Saturday and Sunday evening and listened to great jazz.
support
Back to San Antonio. I loved the varying bridges over the River Walk. Each has a different design. Some have birds nesting and others are not as preferred. The bridges have multiple designs and supports and the water is always changing. Walking outside renews me because the world changes all the time, changes of fall now at home.
leaf
For the Daily Prompt: leaf.
An old riddle: walk on the dead ones, they rumble and grumble. Walk on the live ones, nary a mumble.
