It is late now but my computer is buzzin' with anticipation. My eldest daughter called from camp today and wished just a couple of hours of 'mommy time'. Her cello camp is in town, so I signed the forms and we headed to the Greenway w/Harley in tow. It was 6:30pm and the light was summertime perfect. Harley played in the New River while I listened to all the exciting details of my daughter's first week and a half of camp. Everything was perfect. Then, from the right, I saw a huge blob float overhead and land a couple hundred yards upstream from us. I motioned to my daughter to keep quiet and follow me...we headed towards a bridge even further upstream and I captured this photo of a Great Blue Heron. The blamed heron has always been my nemisis. They smell me just as I get within range. This one didn't seem to care too much. He posed for me here and I have several shots much much closer...most of them in focus that I will publish later. I have often shared with my eldest that capturing a Blue Heron on film is one goal that I want to photographically accomplish....I was especially glad that she was there to see it happen.
P.S. Greg's a daddy! . Please go give him some support
