I don't seem to have the time I'd like for anything I'd like to do, so every time I see things like this bird I really appreciate it. I have to say though that I do see these things kind of often. I see flocks of egrets in the cornfields near my house almost every day. But they're too far away to get any decent pictures. Oh well.
I wish I could be out there taking pictures like these every day. Now that the warmer weather is wining down it's going to become even more difficult. I'll have to do what I usually do and find cold weather stuff to do pretty soon. Fall always gives me that dread of the coming cold weather, but then I like it when it gets here.
I'm also doing a bit of Geocaching again. There's plenty of opportunities for that all over the place around here. The great thing about it is that it gives me plenty of chances to get more nature pictures and go on my little adventures. I think that's enough for now. I'll talk to you later.
Those are excellent pictures of the Heron. WTG!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was able to sneak up on him pretty good.
DeleteFun to sneek up on them. My favorite big bird to get near. Just flew into IA last night so headed out this AM to explore where I am staying.
ReplyDeleteI think these are the best pictures of one of these birds I've gotten so far.
DeleteThat's a great bird.
ReplyDeleteA good sneak.
I got him just in time before the cold weather begins to come.
DeleteI think it's a healthy thing to be doing more off the computer than on. I've been working on that myself.
ReplyDeleteThose are nice photos of the heron! Good work!
I do not like herons, as I've had a few visit my pond. :( Now I have a fake plastic one to guard my pond. They are solitary creatures and won't come if there is one standing guard.
I can just imagine that herons would give you fits with your pond.
Deletethose are beautiful shots of heron, the contrast of the heron with the green vegetation in the pond and the beautiful lighting makes the pictures really stand out. same here, hardly could write up something for my blog too :( time pass by so fast when i think of what to write and i end up not writing anything at all :)
ReplyDeleteTime really does keep getting away from me. Every time I say I'll be back sooner I take even longer the next time.
DeleteCool Bird TV you've got there! Even though we live in a big city, there are geocaching opportunities here - I may even go on a hunt with my human!
ReplyDeleteI love geocaching, but I usually don't find the cache around here. They seem to hide them too well for me. I have to keep trying.
DeleteI love those pictures with it wading deep and the grasses for perspective.
ReplyDeleteI got really lucky to get so close this time.
DeleteI've always wanting to try out geocaching. It sounds like a lot of fun. I find it most helpful if I plot out my posts on a calendar. That way when I do have time I can spread them out and when I don't have much time, I know what to write about.
ReplyDeleteI love your photos in this post and hope you get to explore more!!
You'd love geocaching. You can do it all over the world. They even have one on the international space station.
DeleteHi Ratty...bust playing catch up yet again...as always some wonderful posts and excellent photos from you. Hopefully it won't be too long before I am reading another post from you.
ReplyDeleteI'm just now playing catch up too. I've been gone for way too long.
DeleteNice photos Ratty. One of our most stealth predators.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing one catch a fish and swallow it. That seems like such a long time ago now.
