Night Bird

Spotted this Night Heron under the docks after sunset with just a bit of light shining on it and noting else. Always nice to see these cool birds.

Thank you for all your comments, favs and follows--much appreciated! I've been remiss at commenting (I'll blame it on the holidays), but I am very much enjoying all your images at least. I'll get back to it soon. Peace, all

What they all said! It's so fluffy and hunched up, not the usual pose for a heron--love it.

Hi! We are get-pushed partners for this week. Your challenge is to pick one subject to shoot, and capture it in different angles, distances, colors, and light. You might present it as a diptych, triptych, or even a series. If you would prefer a different challenge, just let me know and I'll set another.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

@aecasey Sounds great, April! I will get back with you soon for your challenge as well. :-)
