That's terrific, thanks so much!

Oh, that's very nice! I like Luv :-) Thank you!

Thank you, @pixresteemer!

Gorgeous shot and a beautiful model!

Your post was very interesting. I did not know about this architect before but I have now learned that he has designed bridges in Canada as well and he is very famous but there are many criticisms about

They are very tricky to photograph at times, especially if they fly far overhead!

Thank you very much! I believe they are slightly different birds. From what I've read, the great blue heron has longer legs and a longer bill, but I agree with you... they do look very similar.

I've spotted a few up in the treetops. It looks like they can't fly yet.

I'd be interested in hearing how this turns out after the cure!

Wow, awesome looking buds you've got there!

Yes, herons really are beautiful birds. We don't seem to have as many of them this year though.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! :-)

Those first couple of shots truly are unreal... I don't think the colour looks correct but it does help to explain the bird's name. Thank you, Barbara!

Thank you! It's strange how blue the bird looked in the deep shade. Maybe it's a camera issue?

Thank you very much, @ackhoo and @qurator!

Thank you, @pixresteemer

Wow, thanks a lot for that, you're very kind! No, I do not own a drone but the last two shots were taken from bridges so the point of view is slightly elevated.

Thank you very much for third place and congratulations to all the winners!

This does not look like a bridge that would take seven years to build!

Having too many photos.... yes, I sure know what you mean! Deleting bad photos could be a full time job for me!
