Green Valley Park, dedicated in 1996, offers three lakes covering 13 acres. Payson, a small city in central Arizona, boasts “if people can’t get out of town to fish, we will bring the fish into town for the people.” The lakes also bring wildlife into town, looking for those same fish, such as this heron sitting at water’s edge, waiting for a meal. The late afternoon light throws it into silhouette, and brackets the lush green grass with blue water in front and dark shadows behind. I used the diagonal line of the shoreline to pull the eye through the image.
