LOOK WHAT’S UP THERE!!

Shot taken on 27th June – Second day of our vacation.
Walking back to the carpark from the Furtwangen Clock Museum, I happened to look up at the sky and saw this beautiful guy cruising by – I think it was a heron (was it?). I had the camera in my hand and with speed took a few shots at him. This is the best of them. I like to take my shots in manual mode and if I had increased the speed a bit more the shot would have come out sharper.
Joke: A flock of herons are flying north for the summer. Two young ones were lagging behind and one said to the other: “Why do we always have to follow that fool, Murray?”
The young one’s mum heard the question and replied: “Because he has the map, stupid!”
Thank you very much for looking and for all the wonderful comments, the fav's and for helping put my shot of yesterday on pp.
