The shot I always try to catch… ‘Leap Of Faith’. At least that’s what I call it.
A Great Blue Heron jumping off into space, with swamp waters down below, takes faith.
The whole thing is over in under a second.
This bird has a nest, with young, in the tree. She can jump off, glide, and be in a marsh or river in a few minutes. This is why many return here each year.
Really exciting. Title captures it all.
Always fascinating to see. Even better when it’s a young bird just learning.
