I really like when this big bird comes around, it usually walks the bank and looks for little fish or maybe frogs to eat. Though when I show up it gets a little camera shy and just stares at me..lol I used my tripod to get these pictures, and indeed they look better this time I think. In these pictures I got some more shots of the ducks, and some pretty pictures of sunset along with the moon showing up.

Earlier in the day I spotted those ducks again... the ducks can now be seen better, but since they always stay a few hundred feet away and are pretty small it still makes it hard to get some good pictures of them.
They swim through the lilly pads, most of them have gone dormant at this point. So its pretty easy for them to move around. I hope to see them next year when the pond is full of those lilly pads again.
We can see them looking back as they swim away. I only got a few seconds once they see me as they start swimming to the other end of the pond.
A Great Blue Heron showed up as well, probably looking for the same thing as the ducks.. tasty fish. This fresh water pond is something they show up to a lot.
It walks around but gets a little camera shy and just watches me.
Eventually it gets fed up with my presence and flies up to a near by tree.
It just sits there waiting for me to leave..lol I wait for about 5-10 minutes but it just stays there.
Coming back later I can see its back at the ponds bank.
It found a little grassy spot to walk around on.
As the sun starts to set the sky and surrounding area is casted in a pink light from the atmosphere shifting colors.
It is starting to look really pretty up in the sky.
As the sun goes down the heron stays around, but it gets harder to get any good pictures of it in the setting light.
Once the sun has mostly dropped below the horizon the presence of the moon takes over. Becoming the dominant object seen in the sky by this time.
The last few rays of the sun is casted along with the forest tree line.
Many of the trees have dropped their leaves by this time of the year so they are just sticks along the horizon.
A few clouds are hanging around making for streaks in the sky.
The moon gets brighter and brighter as more of the sunlight fades away. Partially obscured by clouds as they pass by, but soon a starry night is all that will remain up there.
Great photo-hunting! My passion in photography was about photographing people, but I can definitely appreciate the nature photography particularly told as a story here.
nice shots!
Very interesting, you might spend time to be able to devote the beauty of this blue heron, and it can also be seen that the heron is pacing back and forth, maybe because he is aware of your presence lol.
Until the sun begins to set which provides extraordinary beauty from the charm of a very beautiful sunset, I am very entertained, have a nice day my brother ♥️
It's great how much you are enjoying your camera, the herons look beautiful out there in the lake and makes wonderful views.
The skies are beautiful as well.
very interesting photography with natural beauty and the surrounding environment looks very cool. Thank you very much for showing the atmosphere here with the photography you took, my brother ❤️
What a beautiful photo essay, sunsets are always magical and the moonlight is romantic
I love these bird photos you've taken, the blue heron is really beautiful.
I love seeing it pose on the trees and on the water's shore, its reflections are beautiful.
I hope you continue to enjoy these photo essays, dear friend @solominer
The blue heron is really beautiful and I like how you captured its reflection in the pond.😊
It's beautiful photography, I love this huge heron, of course the most beautiful is this sunset photo is really very cool
Nice photos, the place is very beautiful and peaceful.
That is an amazing shot of animals and the moon! By the way, you should had a beautiful view from Jupiter yesterday? at least from here I could see =)
Those were really interesting photos dear friend, make me feel like i was on a travel.
The Blue Heron shy a lot, or maybe she was afraid of danger.
lt did as if It will not go lnto the water again, but comes back as you left the place, she is really intelligent.
These are wonderful photos dear.
I think whenever you come around, the big bird will be like "he is here to obstruct my meal time"😂
We get some herons and egrets around us. They are spectacular birds.
"Every photo you capture beautifully tells the story of nature's perfection. Each frame reflects your creativity and skill. These extraordinary moments leave a deep impression on our hearts. Photography truly seems to be a unique art in your life.
I appreciate you and your picture, thanks a lot for sharing
Hell ya. Glad to see you get out and do some wildlife photography. I would love to get some shots of Blue Heron. Photographing birds is a lot of fun.
Is this pond on your property? It looks like a lovely place. The birds sure seem to enjoy it!
Impressive photos. The ducks seem a little unhappy. You have to be serious when hunting. This might be why.
These photographs are all beautiful. The camera is professional.
Hola 👋 @solominer, haciendo tomas fotográficas del estante natural 💦 , bonitas imágenes de las aves bro, en esa zona es mucho los animales que presentas en los contenidos. Buen lugar para la siembra al menos el agua no falta 😊🙏🏻. Saludos crack 😎
I love seeing Great Blue Herons in the wild. They are so graceful and interesting looking, almost like seeing a prehistoric dinosaur or something. That's what I think anyway.
Bonita ave, quiero una de esas
Gosh the reflection of the duck in the first pic' looks very clear I can tell you really enjoying this new lens
Your camera takes nice pictures. The Blue Herons down here also eat baby gators, I have seen more than one with a little gator in their beak.
Lotta nice shots there! We have a blue heron that hangs around in warmer weather. On my farm, he's in pastures if they are mown or grazed. If not he hangs around at the neighbor's pond looking for frogs.
I must confess that I covert your camera because these pictures are so lovely. If all these scenes are in site, then you have a lovely place 😊
Lately a lot of birds have started to appear around you, I am very happy to see them standing freely while looking at you, not only that, the view of the sky was also very charming at that time, and you captured it very well my friend 😍👍

STOPThe moon shot is kind of cool
I never seen a heron personally. I feel pity for that feather friend for not having the dinner yet.
The two little ducks are playing and enjoying the water 💦
