    The quote is absolutely true. But I'm glad we have high tech so you can share your wonderful images with us. That one pic of the heron where he looks like he has a topknot is so adorable. They all are wonderful.

    Oh, these are so beautiful. You had a perfect day for this outing. I, too, love the third image. The last shot shows the incredible length of his neck. You'd have to be very careful scratching an itch with those feet, wouldn't you?

    Definitely a true quote....What have we all gotten ourselves in to? While technology is wonderful...it sure robs us of so much life. You've got the best of both worlds... A place full of beautiful wildlife AND a great camera! Enjoyed the photos..

    Such great shots, Gail! Are the tri-colored ones as shy as the Blue? I've told you about my ongoing quest to get close enough to actually photograph one!
