Wading in the Shallows
We camped on the shores of the Lake of the Ozarks, in the southern part of Missouri, and awakened to harsh croaking sounds. I quickly discovered that these calls belonged to a group of herons enjoying the foggy dawn with a bit of companionable fishing.

What a beautiful shot! Hope you had (are having?) a good trip. Like the new theme by the way – very clean.

What a beautiful place to stop and camp at the shores of the Lake of the Ozarks. Very nice capture of the heron and reflective water.

Wow–you are getting really good at reflections and shadows. I see a theme developing. Those birds are big!

Nice shot, Bo. Great Blue Herons are lovely birds with a very loud and ungainly “honk!” They’re here in abundance, as in many places. I love them – great to wake up to.
