Beautiful Great Blue Heron to Warm your Eyes
Great Blue Heron in Warmer Days – babsjeheron
While the weather outside is frightful,
time travel back and escape to a warm summer day.
On days like this, I enjoy escaping into the photo archives with the Great Blue Herons, where it’s endless summer and not sub-zero.
It’s an eye-warming experience.
Not to mention heart-warming.

Thanks to Ben H and WordPress for the recent WPC challenge: 2017 Favorites. Ben asked us to share our most meaningful photos from 2017. If you didn’t get a chance to see them, click here to vote early, vote often. Given the frigid, treacherous weather much of North America has been enduring, the photo of this Great Blue on a warm June day is a reminder of warmer times to come.

From July 1 through July 30, 2016, I was the Featured Artist of the Month at the Summer Street Gallery. The Great Blue Heron photographs once again graced the walls of the lobby and theater for my third one-woman show at The Center for Arts in Natick. In addition to the visual arts shown at the gallery, TCAN has a lively, dynamic lineup of upcoming performing artists.

Beautiful picture of Heron.Came back from Florida ,didn’t see a blue heron.
Many thanks, I’m glad you like this Heron, but it’s too bad you didn’t see any in Florida. Best, Babsje
Saw Dolphins and meditating Egrets.;)
How wonderful. They are amazing creatures. Best, Babsje
Beautifully captured! 🙂
Many thanks, Amy, glad you like this Great Blue. Best, Babsje
They are so graceful 🙂 Great photos!
Thanks, and I agree. They are the epitome of gracefulness, but I may be a bit biased. Best, Babsje
What a lovely reminder of warmer days! They will come again! It seems to be smiling at us with a mischievous look.
I love your interpretation – the mischevious look. One of my sinful pleasures in deep winter is visiting the “perpetual summer” of my Heron photo archives. Thanks for your kind words. And if I’m not mistaken you had snow there in Texas some weeks back. Best, Babsje
He looks a real model
Many thanks, I think you’re right. In fact, sometimes it seems like the Herons know to “pose” for the camera. Best, Babsje
Gorgeous!
Thanks so much, Donna. I’m glad you like her and that June summer’s day. Best, Babsje
That is a beautiful capture, Y!!
Hi Amy – Thanks so much for your kind compliment. I’m glad you like this Heron. Best, Babsje
