Lift off

It was late this afternoon before we got out, and by that time it had turned gloomy with a little rain. We went to Blackford Pond and then round Blackford Hill back to the car, The hill looks very fresh and green with all the new growth. However, I liked this shot best. It was too dark to freeze the movement of the Heron taking off, but it gives a good idea of its power and speed. Perhaps I could try a higher ISO next time.
