Nice timing and angle on the shot Yves. Cool to see the leg lifted so high and the herons concentration on the water.

Thank you Debra. I could not resist taking a shot of that long leg

An excellent and interesting view of this young heron, Yves. He looks right at home among those gorgeous lily pads too. Super shot.

Thanks Heather. I checked him walking for a minute or two when he decided to come closer to me. He look very interested in what I was doing.

Jane LeBlanc

Quite a different perspective, Yves. Nice composition, too.

Thaon you Jane. I just love that long leg and long fingers.
