Default Green Heron, Interrupted

I was on fishing pier when I saw this:

Green Heron, Interrupted 1

So, I zoomed in to get this:

Green Heron, Interrupted 2

And bent down to get this fun (to me) shot:

Green Heron, Interrupted 3
Thanks for looking.

Nice color, and neat shot of the eye. The little legs are fun to see too!

Most people are going to do everything in their power to get the shot without the bridge "in the way". Clearly, you are not most people and what a blessing that is! The head shot is a normal view. The feet shot--not so much. Which is why I have saved it as a favorite in Flickr. The three-stripes-and-bird shot is so...searching....seaching...ah...abstract. And pleasing.

Thank you, Lindy. These comments are truly appreciated. For the feet, I guess they need to be more functional than pretty?

Wow, all great shots chip, but you nailed the second one. The detail is excellent. I like the other too also. The one with just the feet is so cool. Nice work buddy.

Jake.
