Regal Beauty

At times the Great Blue Heron can look awkward and ragged, but at other times it can look so regal!
I saw this heron amidst nature's seeming chaos and the light and shadow was just right to show the beauty of the creature.

It does look like it's posing for an "How awesome am I?" portrait. ;-)

Such an elegant shape amidst the chaos of such a tangle. Vern you should make a calendar of your Heron shots, I'm sure it would be popular.

The lighting and color of the bird is fantastic! Such a "model" pose.

Marvelous capture, Vern! The pose and colors make this a stand-out image.

The blue, grey and white are beautifully contrasted with the dark background. This shot makes those colors stand out and of course the bird posed for you!(didn't it?)Well at any rate they never cooperate with me. Beautiful shot Vern!
