Great Blue Heron

A beautiful Sunday evening to get the canoe out for a little fishing with the oldest on a local lake.  On the fishing side, we failed miserably.

Thanks to the local Great Blue Heron and his beaver friend, the night wasn’t a total loss.  The birds are shy and absolutely stunning, especially those rare times they let you a little closer than normal.  He was probably waiting to watch us tip over and laughing as I was trying to get a decent focused shot from a shaky canoe in low light.
