Heron In The Ponds

D3-012411-347

A Great Blue Heron on a log in Delta Ponds didn't seem to be bothered as I shot a number of pictures. Of course, there was a pond between us so there really wasn't any worries. I liked this particular image because of the composition and colors. The setting was very pretty, I felt, resulting in a pleasing image.
