The Missed Moment



I look at this photograph and smile. I was waiting for the Great Blue Heron to take off.  He was waiting for food to come to him - some Herons are like that.  I desperately wanted to capture this beautiful bird in flight.

When the Heron took off I wasn't ready and missed the moment.  I didn't know at that time that I should watch the Heron's knees, Herons bend their knees to lift off to the races.

  2. I am sure there will be many other opportunities for flight shots, Kaya. It is a common species and any time spent around a wetland should do the trick.

  5. It is a beautiful bird and you have a wonderful photograph of it, Kaya.

    It is a fact that the more time an individual spends in the outdoors (or anywhere) with eyes and ears and nose sharply attuned to what is going on around him, the more the individual will learn the customs and the habits of the creatures which are present and utilize what is learned. It would seem you are doing just that ....

  7. Nice Image!! I use to stalk herons at our lake - and luckily I could get really close to them because they were so focused on a fish they were seeing in the water. I saw how their legs bend as they take off. I just saw one the other day and my good camera broke so the photos I got were okay but ...I really miss my better camera. I still have to post those photos. i'm so behind - I go out almost every day and take pics and hardly any ever get put up.

  12. Se ven preciosas volando sobre el azul del cielo, pero esta tiene una vista fantástica entre las rejas que forman esas finas ramas.
