Walking the Catwalk

It’s been long enough since I last shared an image of this Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) strolling a sandbar in Gulfport, Mississippi, on the Gulf of Mexico, early in the morning. I figure posting another isn’t too repetitive—I really enjoy these shots. Keep an eye on future posts, though… I only have seven left. 😂

Juvenile Heron in Golden Light

We were all sitting out on the porch in front of my wife's little quilting shop when she pointed out a heron perched to the west, just beyond a strip of low trees marking the edge of our property. At first, I didn’t see it—I was looking in the wrong place. But once I spotted it, I rushed inside to grab my camera, and voilà, here it is! A great blue heron (Ardea herodias), possibly a juvenile, judging by its muted plumage. I love how it demonstrates just how incredibly flexible that long neck is—nature’s elegance in motion.
