Young Green Heron

Another back blip... One of the babies that I shared in May. Still a few bits of fluff, but on her own. He had tolerated a few shots, posing against that water...transformed by evening light. But her walk away from my compulsive clicking was the shot I was most drawn to. I do love these creatures, enjoying the brief encounters even with Lumen's tug on my left arm. Dear Lumen...

In an extra: a smile from Lumen with his ear flopped back from fetching his favorite red ball. Put the camera down, Mama; throw the ball please!
