p.1 #1 · Great Blue Heron Fishing Expedition


My favorite local park has been a mess in recent times due to updating of the swimming pool area and the pond being full of overgrowth and trash -- so I haven't visited in quite a while.
Monday morning I had some time, so grabbed my camera and went to check things out since spring has sprung. Much to my surprise and delight, the city parks service has cleaned up the pond and it looks like they are close to finishing the pool upgrade.
Also, much to my delight, this guy was seriously involved in fishing while I was there -- in fact he was still there when I left due to time constraints.

Nice work Greg. With tiny fish like this it's going to be busy all day.

Ha ha, Morris! He actually was catching a number of small ones. As usual, every time he snagged one he either had his back to me or there was some obstacle in the way. Naturally, in the photo I posted here he managed to come up empty-handed (or empty-beaked).

Thanks Gary. Yes, whenever he did catch one I never was positioned to get a decent shot.

I like how you used the same subject as your other post. I would keep working different looks, comps ,backgrounds and angles. Sometimes even different times of the day (light) will yield varying results. So many possibilities. Glad to see you out and about
