Blue Heron Landing

From my trip up the coast in the bitter winter wind and beautiful bright sun. The exposure was tricky with the bright sun on his white face but I think it turned out pretty well.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

The sun feels quite luscious against what appears to be a very cold bit of water!

What wonderful lighting on this heron - you can almost feel him getting ready for touch down. Love the detail in the body.
