Great Blue Heron

This heron was hunting after sunrise and it led to an amazing background of golden grass glistening in the morning sun.

And when out looking in the nature for #Stone, Rock, Boulders etc, you also manage to see a lot of birds perched on them, or just in the vicinity of them (so expanding the scope with some #Bird #Photography for #BlueSkyArtShow) #Nature #Wildlife #EastCoastKin #Egret #Stork #Heron #Cormorant

Today, I go in to volunteer at one of the many member-run galleries here in Humboldt County, the Redwood Art Association. It’s the oldest and biggest—250 members founded 70 years ago.

It’s a good group of folks. I enjoy my time there. It’s a lovely gallery. They’re taking down the current exhibition today and doing intake for their 68th Annual Spring Exhibition show going up next week.

I’ll be submitting these two limited edition signed and numbered prints: Thumbelina and Night Heron.

Black Crowned Night Heron

This is a juvenile Heron, photographed at Rondevlei. The water levels being fairly low, the birds are forced out into the open providing an ample opportunity for photography.

The heron rookery.

Down at the rookery, Great Blue Herons were continually flying in with branches for nest-building.

I have not been taking many photos lately.
No time to visit places and my town is just not that interesting to be honest.

Exercising is going well (though a little challenging at 44 years old 😄), so hopefully by the time the snow melts on the mountain I will be "hiking fit" (yea, right!). I want to try some detail nature photography and maybe some landscape photography even though I'm not good at it. We'll see!

In the meantime I am playing around with my old pictures in #Darktable
Here's a grey heron (Ardea cinerea) perched on a dead tree branch.
I took this one in 2024 just near my house, along the little stream.

although I don't think outline is the same as silhouette. But I see people posting silhouettes anyway 😁
