Blue Contemplation

I saw this juvenile Great Blue Heron standing on a concrete slab in the middle of a local waterway, near my home. I was stunned by the pattern along its neck. The colors and details giving it an almost ‘tribal art’ look and feel. I still love looking at this image, seeing new details each time I do. While I know the pose was while it was looking for fish as they swam by, it still made me think of it more like it was contemplating something deeper in life. I think it’s why I’m drawn to it over and over.

Blue Hunter

Blue Dancer

Each Spring, I look forward to the return of many of the water birds in our area. But, the Great Blue Herons are my favorite. This particular heron photo is one of my all-time top captures. The light of the “golden hour” truly accentuated the shadows from the feathers in ts wings, giving it a stunning pattern along its neck. And, the stance made me see this heron as a beautiful blue dancer. I could honestly look at this image for hours. I hope you enjoy this amazing creature as much as I do.

Blue Grace

I have become obsessed with these incredible creatures. To me, the Great Blue Heron is amazing to watch for it’s beauty, strength and grace. And, to know I can find them just minutes from my home is wonderful. I captured this one as it hunted along the shore in a nearby park. It made its way back and forth along the shore for twenty minutes, or so, before I had to leave. The gracefulness of its movements as it wandered up and down in search of its next meal was beautiful to watch. I could have stayed there all day.
