12/20: gift

We are lucky to have a good number of great blue herons living near the lake.  I usually don't try to photograph them because when I tried taking pictures of them years ago they seemed not to like it and so flew away.  It doesn't feel right to disturb them.  But today when one flew closer to me, right into my camera's field of vision, it seemed like a different situation.  Thank you, heron, for adding grace to a windy, cold day.

My favorite bird. Thanks for this and thanks to the heron, too.

Thanks, Barbara & Sandy! A heron was at standing the same place again when I went to the lake this evening, but I decided I wouldn't be greedy by trying to photograph him two days in a row. This may have to be my sole heron photo.
