End of the Day Heartjumps



This heron sometimes tucks himself into the high grasses at the foot of my dock in the early evening waiting for dinner, and a few times, in my eagerness to capture a lovely sunset I startle him and then he startles me.  We have got to stop doing that to each other before one of us has a heart attack!

  1. That sunset made my heart go thump too, Tabor.

    That shot was well worth near heart failure.

  3. I do know how startling it can be. And yes, I agree with Barry: well worth the risk, that shot!

  4. Hi Tabor, Great picture of your friend--even if you two startled each other. The sunset is amazing---worth being out there for!!!!!

    Hope you are doing okay today.

  5. Tabor, you live in paradise.
    I almost envy you. I am down the gravel road surrounded by unmanicured woods! What wonderful wild life you can capture with your camera. Have a great day.
    A dusting of snow in my area.

  6. Just for a short second there I thought you'd snapped a pic of a freakin' PTERODACTYL, but no, just a scary heron. And your sunset is spectacular indeed.
