No doubt it will get it's fill soon, too. Beautiful capture of the handsome heron, Sandi. I love the color of that water.

He looks very intent. The colours in that water are beautiful. I think you placed the bird in the perfect position within the picture. :)

Cool background too

They are such excellent 'fishermen'...They always seem to find the largest fish. I just love it when they crane their neck sideways and low to the water getting an eye to eye contact on their prey. Then it's over in a flash except for the juggling and the swallowing. I like the position of the bird and the habitat you captured him in. Good one Sandi.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

They have a lot of patience - these herons. Good capture of the bird and the background Sandi.

He must spot one in the distance, very nice shot of bird and surroundings.

He might have to settle for minnow soup for supper, Tigz.
Great title to go with this wonderful photo.

Sandi, your title suggests that patience is required for it. And it will have so. Must be a hungry one by ignoring you this way because they are very shy too and any movement from your side will cause it fly away (temporary) .
'Pico Bello' (lol) picture.

Beautifully photographed. I like the Heron's position in the shot as you left plenty of room for him to hunt. Fantastico Sandi!

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

The heron seems to be not bothered by your presence, Sandi. Perhaps his meal is close by. Excellent capture & I love the layers created by the lily pads.

The heron does seem such a patient bird as we often see them standing so still in the water...great capture, SAS.

If you stare at an orange juice container because it says, "CONCENTRATE"...you might be a redneck.

I like the saturated colors in this photo.
This saturation adds a lot of dynamic to the peaceful scene.
Nicely done !

What fabulous colours and work, they sure are very patient and can move without making noise. Excellent capture with outstanding textures and reflection, bravo
