I have a lot of heron photographs, made over the years, but I never tire of watching them and recording more images of them. I was amazed at the way this Great Blue Heron could stretch out so far to get from one log to another. It could have stepped farther.

The heron is one of my favorite birds, so big and so impressive, in their design and capabilities. The Great Blue Heron can stand up to four and a half feet tall, and has a wingspan of up to six and a half feet. That's a big bird! Yet it weighs only five to six pounds! To me it is a joy to see in flight. The heron can cruise at between 20 to 30 miles an hour. Compare this marvel of creation with those of humans! How primitive and awkward our creations are by comparison!
