Behind the Lens

This guy.

Though he hates to sit still and pose for me,

he does it anyway.

We have a favorite place to visit together.
"My" pond.

At least I pretend it's his favorite too!

Best thing about it?

You never know what you're going to discover beyond the horizon.

The paths, woods and marshes behind the big pond are full of adventure.

Mr. Heron was waiting for us yesterday.

You've heard it said,

"Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes..."

Well,

with a photographer and a heron it's more like

"Don't shoot until you see the yellow of their eyes!"

There were several of them hanging close to the edges of the backwaters,

slowly,

carefully

stalking their lunch.

Because there were fish.
So. Many. Fish.

Never before have I seen fish this big in the pond!

There were tons of them splashing vigorously ~

making bubbles and attracting all sorts of fisherman.

Both heron and human!

No matter the day,

or the company,

or what I discover...

 ...there are few things that make me as happy

as being behind the lens in this place.
