..like how pretty is this country of ours..


..like maybe it's prettier without powerlines in yon distance, but it can still be pretty good around sunset, don't you agree?

I think the White-faced Heron, above and below, is the same bird, as I have seen one around often lately.

And how cool is three great waterbirds at the local wetlands on Saturday morning? Top-bird was not this heron, nor the much larger Great Egret, but the Little Pied Cormorant, who muscled in to the best branch real estate and stayed all day.

    Very easy on the eye these shots. Well done! Now if you hadn't mentioned the power lines, I wouldn't have even noticed!

    I wouldn't have noticed the power lines either.... We see herons around quite a lot, I always enjoy seeing them. The light in that first shot is beautiful.

    Thanks I was happy with the lighting. I rarely head that direction at sunset. So much to learn!
