I like, I share ๐
Much appreciated:)
A stunning reflection Elena, but of course your heron knows this already!
๐ Oh yes he does:) Thanks Patti!
So beautiful pictures! I love how you captured the bird in flight!
Thank you so much for sharing, dear Elena! ๐
Thank YOU Stefania!
I love all of these, but I especially love the one of the reflection in the water! It is beautiful! ๐
Thank you!
You’re welcome! ๐
Wow – incredible shots!
Thanks Mary!
Such an amazing bird. I haven’t seen any local herons but I daresay if I had a pond, they’d stop by. ๐
They are! They’re pretty scarce around here, so it’s always exciting to spot one:) Ah, I’d love a pond too:)
We have herons where we live at a fish hatchery in Northern California. They love to try and snatch the fish out of the ponds! ๐
Amazing shots ๐ It would be awesome to go to the places you visit for photos like this, Elena.
You are invited! Thanks Allyson.
I am awarding you the Premio Dardos award. There are also 6 awards Iโm offering to all my readers, which you can take any or all of those. If you donโt accept awards, sorry about that, itโs just my way of saying thank you for coming by. For more details, please view this post http://wp.me/p41c99-MI Take care, Sage
Thank you Sage. Much appreciated:)
You’re welcome!
Very beautiful pictures! I am afraid that perhaps he sees a rival in the water? ๐
Perhaps;) Thanks Daisy.
Such streamlined gracefulness …
Always admire their s l o w elongated wing movements across the sky …
Our local one is called George … I haven’t yet caught him being so vain ๐
Lovely photos Elena .
Aren’t they remarkable? Thanks Poppy, give George my regards;)
Fantastic pictures!
Thanks Jess!
There’s something beautifully anachronistic about the SN – almost pre-historic. Great captures.
YES! Otherworldly even. Thanks Richard.
Great shot!!!
Thanks!
Magnificent!
Thank you Jennifer!
That is a solid looking bird – monumental and dramatic!
He’s amazing, it’s photographing him that I find a huge challenge:)
regal
Aren’t they?
A true Narcissus! ๐
Oh yes:)
They’re all good, but that first shot is a real Wow! moment.
Photo credit (1st shot) goes to my husband. I’m just not quick enough:) Thanks Louis!
Thank you, it was amazing flight shot. Have a nice weekend, dear Elena, love, nia
Thanks Nia, you too!
Nice!
Thanks Carol!
beautiful creatures!
Oh, I am in awe of them, but so elusive. I’ve been trying to photograph this bird for years!
Caught him gaping at his own reflection! Well done!
Thank you Scilla!
wow, ‘they’ are really trying to get me to pay attention to the or to understand something today! ๐ Thank you for posting/helping!
My pleasure;) Thanks Elisa.
Muscle and sinew and grace! Fantastic.
So very difficult to get a crisp shot of this bird! Been stalking him for years:) Thanks Karen.
