This morning when I set out to walk around the lake in front of my apartment, I only wanted to experience nature and to get a little physical activity. But then I spotted a Great Blue Heron patiently standing at the far side of the lake.

Hoping that the heron would continue to stalk fish where it stood, I rushed back to my apartment and grabbed my camera. I was lucky.
