Ralph

The resident Great Blue Heron (Ralph), at the cottage.
 
 
Morning and evening, Ralph came to fish at the rapids in front of the cottage. A patient bird, waiting for hours to catch a bite. I enjoyed watching him for hours as well.

    Beautiful captures, Karen. I love herons and your photo of Ralph in flight so low over the water, is incredible. Well done! Have a great day. Jo

    Hi Karen. Wish I had patience of that hero. Guess herons don't have a handy fridge?

    Whenever I am able to watch a GBH for some length of time I consider it my Yoga meditation for the day! They are so patient and still! I love watching them (but it is even better if I get to see one catch a fish!)
