Fleeing Through the Early Morning Mist

I loved my solitary early morning walks along the tow path, and this morning there was a gentle mist rising where the sun shone on the canal. I startled this heron, and it scared the bejeezus out of me!

And yet you were able to get this amazing photo of it! Quick thinking and quicker action! I love the composition with the narrow boat showing.

This scene is so much like a lovely painting - it must be wonderful to be able to walk through this atmosphere. :)

Thank you all, my early morning strolls are always different on a boating holiday.

You Brits here, do you think this is worthy of an entry to the Countryfile Calendar, or is movement of the heron too fuzzy and a distraction ( theme is Miracle of Nature)

Worth the startlement! Though it actually looks a peaceful scene 😀

[haskar]

Nice caught.
