I was lucky to have accidentally slightly startle a blue heron on my way back to my car. He was graceful and seemed to fly with a beautiful sturdiness. He was so close during these photos - had I any idea how long I would get to see him for I would have snapped his handsome mug as well! Once in my car and driving from the lake I looked over and he was flying over the water, parallel to my car. Nature sometimes has a way of giving you extra when the camera is off.
