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

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.

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