Great Blue Heron Landscape
Huntley Meadows Park - Alexandria, Virginia
May 24th, 2019
On this particular day at Huntley, I watched these two Great Blue Herons as they were demonstrating some courtship behaviors. This male, kept going to the nearby woods to retrieve a stick for his mate as they will do when courting. On one of his return trips he landed on a beaver mound with his intended gift for his mate still in his beak. I was able to grab this landscape capture showing this beautiful scene.
I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
