IT was early moring and we were walking by the lake on our way for coffee when we say this Great Blue Heron standing on the edge of the pier, looking out over the lake, almost in contemplation. You almost wonder if it was wondering what the future would bring since so many things are changing. The scene really touched me.

Beautiful capture. He does look deep in thought!

Thanks. It was just so mesmerizing seeing that look on the heron's face. I wanted to stay longer, but since we were walking down to the cafÃ© for breakfast which is a half hour away and we hadn't had our coffee, my hubby got a little testy about staying any longer. LOL! He said I could photograph him staring into his coffee cup, contemplating the coffee's future!!

PRO

Superb photograph made even better by the texture of the water.

Thanks. Normally I hate getting out of bed early but it was well worth it. IT's amazing what you can see that early in the morning.
