Drying Off

This Great Blue Heron was taking a bath in Lost Lagoon, Stanley Park, Vancouver, October 31, 2009, and is drying off in the way dogs do.

 

The shot was taken at 1/250 sec and I'd estimate the length of those streaks to be about 1 inch, so the water is moving at 250 inches per second, or 14.20 miles per hour. Quite a shake!
