White Heron in Flight

I know this White Heron was tired of me chasing it around this small pond snapping photos.  I was determined to get the shots I wanted, so we went around the pond a couple of times. 

This was photographed in Florida and I thought I would share one series of shots from an “escape flight.”

I swear that heron looks a little smug in that last photo.  But I got what I was after!

You might notice that I’ve not been posting the technical type of post I normally do.  I’ve decided to change up to “softer stuff” for a while to see if I can jump start myself past this malaise.

I’m sure there’ll be more technical how-to and Mac posts down the road.
