Herons Above -
Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge 27/11/2021 ----
Reflections on Water .
Weather if cold was better forecast at the start of the week so had a go with the camera at a couple of ponds with plenty of trees by them for possible reflections . Took a half dozen shots or so when I got distracted after becoming aware of a heron up in a tree close by . Found a the best position for a shot of the heron before realising it was actually making a reflection itself on the water , well that sold it for me - packed the SLR with the telephoto and got out the Power Shot to capture what you see above . Not only was the heron reflecting well on the water , the tree itself made a splendid "C" shape itself , click and job done ! Alas , I was stuck with the large branch going across the top left corner and I was not going paddling just to avoid it !! Soon after the temperature dropped quite a bit and the wind got up - so it was time to pack up !
A couple of shots from the ponds in the first comment box to go with the main shot -plus my stand by reflection shot had the ponds not been any good !!
For Sight & Sound , a tune more to do with the heron than the reflections ---
