I like wide angle shots. For the feeling of depth.

 

Warmer away from the coast. So we left our area, took the S2000, top down and headed north to the blue heron rookery in the woods. Over 3 miles of walking, over 8K steps and according to the fitbit and iphone 15+ flights of stairs, while lugging camera and zoom. Worth it! Though there were not as many occupied nests as last year and babies haven't made an appearance, I got a couple shots that were decent enough to crop down. Mating season, these guys aren't exactly gentle. Click for sharper view

 

WOW....

 

Nice shots, Lainey!

Does Rick help you carry some of your heavy camera equipment?

 

Thanks, folks. Sue, I only brought one camera today, but yes, Rick has carried the other one at times. The only extra thing I take is a battery and a memory card in a little bag, which fits in my pocket.

These woods have more ups and downs, but at times we could get right near the water/pond for a better view. One knee is twinging a bit with some of these walks in the woods, hmmmm

 

Blue Heron Rookery . . . not a term we get to use where I live. Cool shots. Neat bird.

 

Dave, come on down here. We have a big rookery just north of Akron.

 

Thanks...I could watch them and click away all day long. They are cool. I'm not sure Rick shares my enthusiasm to the same degree, but hey, he got to drive the S2000.

 

Need pics! Is it easy to access? At this site, you can see the rookery/nests from one side of a pond, but the view is much closer on the other side. So we walked around the pond. The light was better on the side with the closer view as well. Something to keep in mind as far as time of day when we go again looking for the babies.

 

Yours truly missing about 3” of hair grown over the past nine months. After haircuts, we went to an Irish pub across the street and ate indoors!!! Big adventure.
