@red queen: Thanks red queen - I think the heron is in breeding feathers - they were certainly in fine form.

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States

The legs and the reeds sticking out of the water must be related. They look so much alike. Beautifully photographed.

@Seraphine: I suppose all life's related even reeds and legs :) (I've been told that under certain powerful microscopes molecules in the air and our skin look the same - we just meet and merge with the atmosphere!) Thank you!

Man! This is bright! I really like the feel of this shot. It reminds me of up north where I always long to be.
