Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Marvelous shot, Paul! I'd be interested in knowing what focal length is needed to shoot this close and how far away were you from the heron. Thanks, Paul.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

We have many blue Herons here in ORegon, in fact, here on our little piece of land, there is a Wetland area nearby, and so often a big ol' Heron will swoop right over our land! They are so beautiful. I love how you got this look so close up of him.
He actually looks as tho he is smiling! And you captured the colours wonderfully too.I didnt know they had the Herons in Holland, but I'm glad you get to enjoy them too. Lots of hugs to you this day for a great posting my dear Paul...Verena
