The flapper look

I had an unexpected morning off from work on Tuesday so of course we had to stop by Constitution Gardens to see who was there – loads of geese, a few ducks, several cormorants (who haven’t been there for months), and of course my friend the heron.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Incredible shot. This is genuinely interesting and creative, a slightly different take on the Great Blue Heron! V

Nirvan Hope		02-Jan-2020 02:04
Love it! It looks like he's listening to you - or at least very interested in what you're doing. I've yet to have a heron pose like that for me.
