Flying High

"Birds flying high you know how I feel...
Sun in the sky you know how I feel...
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel...
And this old world is a new world...
And a bold world...
For me...
And I'm feeling good...
I'm feeling good."

--Nina Simone

Super shot - looks as if he's about to trail his feet in the water just because he can

@k9photo @marlboromaam @thewatersphotos @seattlite @jb030958 @onewing @sdutoit @dutchothotmailcom @wakelys @fayefaye @pusspup @santina @spanner @vignouse @fbailey thanks so much for your kind words & comments... this was taken right after the bird left shore and the feet dangled for a short while and then he pullEd them up parallel to his body... when the herons land the feet come down again. The great blue heron is much bigger that the green heron... the green heron doesn't look that big when it is on the ground but once it flies the wings look huge... they are so pretty. @fbailey I bet he could trail his feet in the water if he wanted to!
