Wow, I'd love to be able to capture a heron and here you have done it at least twice. Each one is great too!

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel. -Josemaria Escriva

Well, you got'em this time. Great detail on those neck feathers. I didn't know a blue herron was built like that in the front. Great capture.

Oh Ruby, you've done an excellent job of focusing in on the heron and leaving the rest natural. Well done!! - Patty

Hi there Ruby..I just got this great heron in the voting booth and wanted to let you know what a good job you did capturing the ruffled front of these birds with your camera lens! The colors are good as well. I also like the half rock, half grass background. Very effective. Thanks for sharing this with us :~)

Ruby, this is one of the very best shots of a blue heron I've seen in many years. The fact that herons inhabit the wetlands behind us, you'd think by now I would have caught a shot, but no such luck. I'll keep trying as you have given me the incentive. Very fine presentation....Neil

I saw a peanut stand, heard a rubber band, I saw a needle that winked its eye. But I think I will have seen everything When I see an elephant fly. MY GALLERY

Top quality shot Ruby. Good details on this handsome fellow. He stands proudly posing like a model. Well composed with good clarity. This Blue Heron shows off his gorgeous feathers - the bits of blue are lovely. This is a keeper & thanks :*>
