That is a moment and a half to catch…so to speak 🙂 With all the…graceful splashing around!
Thanks, it was amazing to see the late day sun backlighting the water splashes and droplets in the air and I was pleased that the camera was quick enough for the capture. This heron is one of my long-time favorites, I am smitten.
Lovely photo!
Many thanks for your kind compliment, and for visiting my blog!
Gorgeous shot! I love the the way you caught the water splashing up!
Thanks so much, I’m glad you like this one! Best, Babsje
HI Babsje This is a great shot and as you say it blends in so well you could nearly miss the Heron.
I’m so glad you liked it, many thanks for visiting and commenting!
Gorgeous shot, Babsje. Thanks for sharing and for taking part 🙂

I’m glad you like them, me too. Thanks for visiting and commenting again, Deb.
These (the fabulous image with fish in bill) are great images, love the lighting. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for visiting and for your kind comment, Dave. The sun played nicely that day, backlighting in that golden hue.
WOW…very beautiful shot. I had to look twice before I saw what’s happened. Pawkiss 🙂
