A Blue Heron on Pike Lake just waiting to find that treat! It was a very windy day, and this was a hand held attempt.

Thank your for your comments.

Fine capture and presentation here Sandi. Sometimes I wonder if they are confidence decoys the duck hunters use. They stand there so still for such a long time.

Such a fine capture, Sandi! Hand held doesn't seem to be a problem for you. Windy isn't always good, but the results are great and the colors are sensational. Wish I could find a water bird to shoot. Maybe next week at the seashore. lol

They are such cool looking birds. Very nice capture, and I like the water action right at it's feet. Good work, Sandi.

Looks like this heron found the perfect fishing spot. The wave motion of the lake adds alot to the image as well as the water spray. Sandi, you did an excellent job capturing this one.

BRAVO!!!!! Love this so much. The touch of green to the side really helps balance and set this off so much. Great job once again Sandi.

Who had more patience, the heron or you Sandi, lol.
Although it's a 'handheld attempt', it's a wonderful capture to me.

Putting your pictures in my favorites is the highest honor I can give you. If I could, I would give you an award. But alas, I cannot. So the highest praise I can award you with, is faving your artwork.

Marvelous capture, Sandi! You must have a very steady hand! The lighting is beautiful, as is the colours and clarity. I too, am enjoying the water action, and his patient pose! :)
