Great Blue Heron 3

Great Blue Heron 3
For the Saturday Self-challenge: foreground bokeh. In the PIP is another photo of the same bird in the same place. I found this one on a pond near our house. Although they are not rare in our area, this is the first time I had seen one. I was particularly surprised to see it in the city.

Holger Hagen, photosofghosts, RHH, casino and 23 other people have particularly liked this photo

This works well! *****

Out of focus foreground gives feeling like hiding to catch the bird.

The foreground bokeh adds another layer to the photo but still lets the pond shine through.
Herons adapt well to towns as long there are ponds or rivers with fish. We have quite a few of them nesting (and anglers complaining;-)

No fish in this pond, the heron will likely be dining on frogs.

Avec les changements climatiques, les animaux "sauvages" se rapprochent de plus en plus des lieux habités.
Parfaitement réussi pour le challenge de la semaine.

A perfect one for this challenge, and you were lucky with the heron, it is true that they come closer to inhabited places, or maybe it is because inhabited places extend to nature...
