The real story behind the tranquility of this shot: There is a salt water marsh behind & to the right, and this is dusk. So...I was standing in water as deep as I could without compromising my camera and camera bag with the tide still incoming. Less flesh exposed to bites. :)

Ocean scene. The image is a pale blue with a pale pink band about a quarter of the way from the top. Below that, to the right, a heron is standing in water as high as the bottom of its body, facing left, looking downwards. In the foreground, we can see some gentle ripples, caused by the human standing in the water.

This Yellow-crowned Night Heron was wide awake when I saw it early one morning. Perhaps it was watching the baby alligator below. Interestingly enough, I saw several alligators on this day in Alligator Lake along the Alligator Trail. I wonder how they came up with those names. :-)

I learned why often gulls swim near herons when the tide is high enough to let them by watching this pair. When the heron caught a fish, the gull was hoping it would drop it and it was ready to make a dash and run. :)

Often herons will have to toss a fish into the air to get it into their beaks at the right angle to swallow. This is when opportunity might arise. :)

The tide is coming in, the wind is calm, the sun is setting. It's cloudy in front of us, but warm light is shining into the scene from over our left shoulder. The water and sky look lavender. Standing in the water, which is now up to the bottom of its body, is a heron, standing upright. Behind and to its right, a black-backed gull is floating. In the upper right we see a blurry image of another gull in flight.

Early morning outing on the James River, Richmond VA, USA - I recently went out with Capt Mike of Discover the James (discoverthejames.mybigcommerce) and had an amazing day. He knows the territories and habits of several birds and you are almost guaranteed to get within 50 feet of your subject. Highly recommended for photographers or anyone that just wants to get REALLY close to nature. #birdphotography #birdstagram #naturephotography #osprey #baldeagle #heron #omsystem #OM1 #microfourthirds #on1pics

A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) along the shores of the Capilano River in North Vancouver, British Columbia. I made this photo quite a long time ago and was experimenting with shutter speeds. The slows shutter speed won in that contest. Herons are one of the few birds that would have been still long enough for me to pull this off!

A great blue heron sits on a partly moss covered rock with a river in the background. A longer exposure photo - the water is very smooth and blurred as a result showing some light streaks in the otherwise dark grey background.
