Just when you think the day is going to be a dud, life hands you a beautiful surprise!
It had been a pretty slow day at the swamp. Some decent images but nothing to write home about. This Green Heron had been fishing in front of me all morning, but he wasn’t having a good day. But the beautiful light made it hard not to take a few pics….
“Bird on a stick!”
But luck has a way of changing quickly in the wild….
And even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while……
And his luck definitely changed after that, which made him happy and me too!
The short series below was interesting because I could see that he was leaning way out, too far for a straight down attack on a fish. So I knew he was going to jump into the water after his prey. Luckily, I was ready and caught most of it in pictures. Just before he hit the water he went behind the greenery and that shot didn’t come out. Which is just as well, because he missed again….
Too late to back out now!
Eyes on the prize!
Full attack mode!!!!
Sometimes the best things happen when you least expect it, and life drops these moments of joy into your lap. It’s up to you to appreciate them…..
All for now, so get out and shoot!
