Striking a Pose

Out in Delta Ponds I met my friend, the Great Blue Heron, after he landed on an old snag. I wanted him to pose for me, so he graciously struck a pose, balanced on one leg. I was so grateful that I got my shots, thanked him and graciously walked away so as not to disturb him. I really like his portrait. :)

Was he saying, "Hurry up and take the shot! I'm getting a leg cramp. . . ."?

Marvelous light and a great pose! We saw one in a pond right by the road here in Oman, but it flew away as soon as I got my camera out.

Excellent, these birds must know you well by now Vern, they always seem to oblige with classic Heron poses.
