A Blue Heron Sort of Day

On this last day of June, I will share some pictures that brought a smile to my face. For years I have wished for some good photos of a Great Blue Heron. On May 11, 2021 my wish came true. Of course there are many photos out there which are much better than mine, but I am happy with these.

These are two different birds in two different locations, but all near the Pembina Valley.

A stop at the Kaleida Marsh, at first was disappointing ,but driving down the road a little further, gave me the next two shots. Well, actually I got many more but will only show these two today.



This bird seems to be all neck and wings. Not much of a body.


A leisurely drive through the valley, resulted in another fairly cooperative Heron.
This fella was intent on fishing, and paid no attention to me.


Once again, I got many pictures, but will only show a few.
After several attempts at catching supper, he decided to relocate .


The evening light was a bonus on these shots.


My camera kept on clicking and I am pretty sure I was smiling through it all.


Yes, these are slightly cropped, but still pleasing to me.


On another note, as of June 30, 2021, I have been officially retired for one year.
I have not regretted that decision for one single minute.
Retirement suits me just fine.
To God be the Glory!
