"Great Blue Heron At Sunset" was taken from the shore of Lake Brandt, near their marina. We were watching the sunset and this bird flew and landed on the other side of the lake. It was so quiet and serene, it reminded me of this scripture from 1 Peter 1:2, "May grace and peace be multiplied to you". The sun setting with all the colors reflecting off of the trees and water with this lone Great Blue Heron standing there, as if he/she was feeling the peace and quiet. Since Lake Brandt is one of our larger watershed lakes, I had to get as close as I could to capture this image. The shore is lined with thick trees, so I shot from the other side of the lake with a Nikon Nikor 55-300mm lens just as the colors in the sunset were getting stronger. I liked the simplicity of seeing this large bird stand in this posture as if he too was enjoying the sunset and also maybe looking for his last meal before the days end. The great blue heron is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North America. It is always a treat to see this large birds with their wing span fly and land so gracefully.
