Great Blue Heron At Dawn 02_27_06.jpg

Wanda and I spent the last few days in Florida for the PMA convention. It was a great trip. We did spend one full day,dawn 'til dusk, at the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.

This was one of the first photographs for the day. That first few minutes of that magic hour light made this photo.

I have a few hundred photos to go through. Here are a couple more I just grabbed

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM
1/320s f/7.1 at 400.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
