Harry Heron: Are you coming? I'm not going to wait all day for you!
Herman Heron: Hold your flappin' beak. This flying stuff is still new to me. I barely made this landing as it was!
Herman Heron: Ok, I'm ready now. So I lean forward ...
... shove off and flap. Right?
Herman Heron: Hey! Look at me! I did it!
Harry Heron: Oh my ... It's going to be a long long day. And we haven't even discussed pole landing yet.

Hope your day got off to a great start!
I've been trying to learn to use Gimp to create
myself a watermark.
It's going rather slowly.
~sigh~
Thank goodness for You Tube video instructions!

What a great sequence of photos! You are REALLY good at this...
I love taking pics of birds.
Each time I see one of your bird photos, I sigh in envy! These are just fabulous, Reena! I love the shape of a heron in flight, too...those gawky birds look so graceful in the air.
You are indeed a master at taking bird shots, Reena! And always fun to be able to "hear" their conversations! I love it and your posts always brings a smile and a giggle! What a great start for my morning! Hope your week is going well! Enjoy -- you and the birds!

love the story, love the photos, love the big bad bird. i need to make a watermark, and i keep giving up. i like the shadows when he took off and the way the sun painted his feathers while perched on the pole
outstanding photos!
thanks for the beauty of your photos that keep me yearning for them.
such witty words, too!
The Herons are funny, they make it very teasing.
My day was not complete without a bird picture. So I came here. Thank you.
great set of photos, and always enjoy your critter narratives...
Thank for the giggles!
hehehe love it.
Fantastic shots!
so glad I don't need to land on a pole. Never used gimp but do you think the watermarks help that much with photo theft?
Reena,
My oh my, I am so glad you popped over to my blog as it has allowed me to find you! Beautiful, beautiful site. Consider yourself followed! Wish we had these herons taking off from my roof. Loved the commentary, LOL.
Hugs!

Just love it. The herons are beautiful and I love their conversation!

They look so prehistoric .. fabulous ... watermark? Nah. I sign my photos using the text thingie at Picnik.com and hide my signature within the photo ... my 'tribute' to Al Hirschfeld's "NINAs'
Magnificent! I was at the library this afternoon and whipped out my camera in the parking lot to take bird photos...you would have been proud! heehee! ♥
Oh me...flying is like riding a bike once you learn it you have the skill for life!!
Beautiful pictures!!
Hugs C
I love this series and your cute narrative!
Along with taking such stunning pictures, you 'speak bird' very well!!
heheheheee your commentary cracks me up, Reena... love it! =)
Amen to the YouTube praise! LoL!
AWESOME pictures!!! I especially love the shadows, too! So sharp and clear. The great blue heron is such an impressive bird!
Wow, what a beautiful series of photo\s . The birds photo's are magnificant and I love your words with the photo's.
I love this sequence of photos :-)
i like it very much, too, especially the shadow with the wingspan.
:)
Wow, amazing shots. Very cool.
What a day-brightener. Love these GBH shots and the commentary. You really seem to know what these birds are thinking! lol
Delightful Reena - and oh! those long legs they go on forever!! Have a great week-end!
this one gave me the giggles and I enjoyed the great pictures too.
I apologize for not visiting my favorite blogs lately, and i promise to do some catching-up with everyone in the next few days. We are experiencing cooler weather starting today (Thursday) and as for myself I'm looking forward to falls return to the Lancaster Pennsylvania area. And are the color of the leaves changing your your way folks as they are mine. Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful fall season that has now begun. Richard from Amish Stories.
Oh I love this post really made me smile :) thank you.
You don't have PS, right?
Wonderful pics!!
Very, very cool!!
That is very cute. They really do have long legs and necks to try to coordinate.
I'm so glad we didn't have a crash landing -- great shots and commentary, Reena. :)
They are kind of awkward, but at the same time graceful and beautiful! Lovely photos!
Outstanding!
Great inflight shots, something I have yet to accomplish with a heron. Well done.
what a wonderful series reena!! lucky you....
i can't learn anything new, all my "memory" is used up!!
Now that is just cool. And the fact alone that a bird like that can fly is amazing.
Wonderful images and thank you for the smiles Reena!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
love the light on those long legs!
Outstanding! Love this post!
Loved this Reena. The captures as Herman begins flight are beautiful! Love your commentary!
I always enjoy your lovely posts :)
Beautiful shots, such clarity. perfectly captured!
All the best with the watermark! I need to do that too. At some point!
This is SOOO funny:)
Have a nice weekend.
Hi there - what a splendid sequence of shots!! I like seeing herons. I always feel like I've seen "something" if I see a heron!

Excellent heron shots - they're such neat birds.
You got some great pictures of the herons. The Blue Herons around my house are so skitsy that I can't even open my patio door or they fly away.
Great shots of the herons, Reena! Puts mine to shame for sure! Your commentary was funny, too!
Too funny!
Beautiful photos!
haha ~ very fun photos! They make me smile! :)
xo Catherine
They look so awkward when the first take off, nice capture of the sequence.
Fantabulous bird photography - I don't know how you do it! they all look so 'human'!
Wonderful shots and commentary of one of my favourite birds. Really well done. :)
I absolutely love pic #4. Talk about gracefulness. Lovely pics. Cheers!!
Wonderful photos!!
