Description
A majestic Great Blue Heron stands gracefully in shallow water, surrounded by lush greenery and casting a blurred reflection in the golden surface of the pond. The vibrant colors of the scene enhance the tranquil and natural setting.
Driving along a country road not far from our old house in Montgomery County, Maryland, I loved driving by a lovely, picturesque farm. Sometimes I'd catch a glimpse of beautiful horses romping through the pastures near the main house and barns. I'd almost always try to glance over at a lovely, tree-shaded pond, too. On more than one occasion a majestic Great Blue Heron stood at the edges of the waters as if beckoning me ... or daring me ... to pull over, grab my camera and come play. On a beautiful sunny June day in 2008, I did just that.
Image captured in June of 2008 with the Nikon D40X. Fine art and product purchases of this image will not include a watermark, and if I may make a recommendation ... this image will look its very best on the fine art paper choice of "picture rag." No artificial intelligence programs used.

Leah, thank you ... I only had milliseconds to fire this one off ... sneaking around the bushes, I knew he would fly ... I got very lucky!!!
