This picture was taken back in early summer. This Heron was fishing for breakfast. I am posting this upload from my hospital bed...as a lot of you know I had surgery on Wednesday. The surgery went as well as it could have gone...Dr told me they got all the cancer cells out and no really bad complications from this surgery. They are releasing me from hospital tomorrow. I will have a few weeks of recovery.

Gerry, read your narrative and like to say: 'That's great news'! Wonderful!
Suppose that you had a laptop or memory stick with you in the hospital: amazing!
Wish you a soon and complete recovery. Thanks for this good news and this wonderful post too.
Regards, Cornelius.

Superb clarity on this Heron, Gerry. I really hope you will recovering fast and will enchant us with more pics very soon. My dad is battling cancer for over a year now and has had surgery so I know how important it is to be optimistic and keep your mind busy. You are an amazing photographer and I hope that one day I will be able to shoot a bird as clearly as you are.
Well done!
