Sweet pose you caught this one in with that foot upon a rock. I just love their feathers hanging like pretty fringe. I can attest to their patience. I waited one out one morning. It sat in the tree waiting for me to go indoors so it could fish our pond, and I was determined to prevent that if I could. I stayed put, and it eventually took off; but it took a good, long time. Probably came right back and caught a fish as soon as I went indoors! ;-)
Beautiful image love the reflections in the water and the detail in he heron's back Fav.
