Great Blue Heron Love at the Venice Rookery, Florida

            The rookery is not the best place to shoot in the evening unless you have backlit images in mind as the sun rises directly behind most shooting positions and sets directly behind the rookery.

I set out tonight with this sort of image in mind and was not dissapointed.  If you look close you will notice a ton of flies in the background.  One of these days i will take the time to clone them all out and also the few offending twigs between the mates and behind the GBH on the right.

I think this may end up printed and hanging on the wall of our home.  :)
