Playing hard to get

Taken at Piscataway National Park in Maryland. The heron was pretty far away and not so easy to photograph, but I was excited to see one again in any case. I had seen it land there so knew roughly where it had to be.

I love he blends into the rest of the scene. I also like the wide angle view. V

Perfect heron environment. Good spotting it as it blends in with the grey trees.
