Great Blue Heron, Hiding in Plain Sight
oil on canvas
10 x 20
As Bruce and I were on a walk at ACE Basin a couple of days ago,
we walked upon the big, beautiful Blue Heron. He was perched high up on a tree.
He took several photos of him as we approached, us watching him, him watching us...
As we got close, I waved my arms and OFF he went! Wings flapping, beak squawking.
He tried to get away from us and found a place to hide nestled in the shallows and among some small trees and grass. He thought he was hiding. But Bruce's nifty new camera found him!
It was a cool, gray, overcast day. He almost blended in with his surroundings,
BUT.... here he is.
