Default Lunch Time along the River.

I'm enjoying my lunch time Photo walks along the river near work. Lot's Herons and Egrets as well as other birds, too fast to catch so far. But here are a few from yesterday.

Blue Heron

Wow, all are very nice. I love the blue water in the first. All are very clear and nicely shot. Thanks for sharing.

Nice set, particularly like the 2nd one for its color tones.

Marvelous shots, Michael. I like the clear water and rocks showing in the riverbed in your second shot. Great stuff! I love that dragonfly, so colorful. I've never seen one like it. Glad I got to see these.

Fantastic shots and composition as usual, the dragonfly shot is excellent. What do you do for a living that you can enjoy such great lunch hours?
