Takeoff

Yesterday morning at Lincoln Park Beach I spotted this Blue Heron from a distance. After focusing on what I thought would be a still shot, he took off like a shot. The shutter speed on my Sony bridge camera was fast enough to capture his takeoff. Not a perfect shot but good enough :). Thanks for stopping by.
