This bird looks like a duck, but is not technically a duck. It is thriving across a wide area of the Eastern US.
The Right Light
Cindi and I took a number of Little Blue Heron pictures but we did not get the detail of the feathers until we got the late side light as we were waiting to board the Sunset Cruise at Tarpon Bay.

Crows swarm above a tiny rookery mangrove island already occupied by Brown Pelicans and Double Crested Cormorants.
Diagonal Composition
I tried to create some diagonal energy between the waves and the sun.

A Majestic Bird for Sure
Roseate Spoonbill
This is the bird most people come to Ding Darling to see. I have to admit I was going to be disappointed if I did not get a picture. After a day and a half of failure, three of these beauties landed in the trees near us.

Sky Pond
Hiking to Sky Pond is one my favorite all time Rocky Mountain National Park hikes. I hope to get to do it again someday. In this picture, my younger, fitter hiking companions have left me far behind. I like the fact that you have to zoom in to see them on the rock in the lower right hand corner because it shows the grand scale of the scenery.
