Blue Heron by tara11

Blue Heron

Ryan and I went walking to the river in hopes of getting some shots today. We saw this guy on our way home. As you can see he was in a protected spot. There was so much brush between us that I couldn't get a clear shot and I was afraid that he would fly off if I got too close.

I was hoping to get a cool shot of the road that we walked down for the theme, but I wasn't happy with any of them. Instead I'm posting a heron and a weed.
Well spotted

Stupid I know but I never realised herons climbed trees. I guess I've only ever seen them on water. Great shot xx
