August 14th - Waiting on a heron

So, we finally made the coast and got into water. Well at least we got wet. Nothing like the 'adventure' of kayaking with semi-expensive camera equipment you don't entirely own .... well, it keeps one upright; no flip & dip fun here.

Then to sneak up on a heron....ok, really sneaking up with a zoom lens, but still the hope was it would 'take off' to the right, providing a classic shot but she went to the left, behind the rock outcrop.....well then it was time to paddle like crazy and try to catch up.....

Click the short falsh-movie link on the right; it'll open in a separate small web-page ....and then you can get the drift of this film.....
