The Blue Heron

Can you spot him? Have you ever been somewhere, see something, and
realize you didn't have the right lens? That was me. I was out shooting
with my Tamron 17-50 when I spot a mating pair of Blue Herons in Balboa
Park -- something I've never seen before.

This one swooped down from a palm tree and landed on the top of the
Botanical Building. I took this pic, and then my battery died as well!

Oh well, I'm satisfied with this composition!

The lighting is really wonderful. Very pretty composition with a tiny heron :)
Gary, you may say you're a lucky man, your battery died AFTER this shot, not before ;)))

Well spotted Gary, but especially great is the composition & the timing with that light.

This is a striking and lovely shot. I've never seen the lighting like this. Good one.

It is a lovely comp. And good lighting. Shame about not having the lens you wanted. But at least you did get a good shot before your battery died!
