I have enjoyed nature and it's beauty for as long as I can remember. Photographing it to share is a new hobby. I still have much to learn. Any helpful hints and constructive criticism is always welcome.


I will try to post new items weekly so check back. It is my pleasure to share nature's gifts with you. I find myself amazed at some of the beauty I find while out for a walk.

Blue Heron

I stumbled upon the Blue Heron early one morning. I took several shots of him from various angles. I think the last one is my favorite, but please tell me if you like any of them. I was thrilled with how things just came together so well for this photo.

I was amazed at how perfect the lighting was. The background was the embankment reflected in the completely calm water. I thought it looked unusual.
I was surprised that in this light, the bird really did look blue. Most times when you see them they always look more gray.

  1. Very nice heron pictures. Our lighting is similar here on our little bay - the herons can look quite blue sometimes. What a gorgeous photo series - so pretty with the reflections in the background!
