First, we have a solution for COVID hair care. Sue is particularly joyful about this.
How about a virtual trip to the Magic Kingdom?
The weather is warming, but yesterday proved to be quite overcast. Therefore, we didn't go for a sit in the park as we had thought we might, but we did take our usual walk to the pond.
The first thing was seeing a lady photographing the heron. This heron isn't spooked by people and got even closer to her than this.
The bird moved to near me. Intent on shooting, at first I didn't notice that the lady had moved to my side. She is younger, and her knees still work. I do what I can. She knew of me because I help to moderate the local photography FB group. Now I know her although it might be a stretch to actually remember her name.
We both squeezed the shutter a lot. Here are two photos that are good enough after doing a bit of brightening in edit to relieve some of the dullness of the cloudy conditions.
Have a good Sunday, folk. This is a holiday weekend in Canada, the weekend where the weather may sometimes be nice enough to get outdoors, do some gardening, or open cottages and trailers. I don't think we'll be doing any of those things, but perhaps we can enjoy the improving weather.
What a delightful event! And those selfies!!!
ReplyDeleteI did some gardening and it was lovely, even as I swore at the twitch grass.
I have a sliver, too. But it's all good. I'd forgotten it was a holiday. sigh. All the days seem the same.
I may be looking for curlers soon! Love the photos of the heron; it really isn't scared of people. Hope you have a lovely holiday weekend with some nice weather.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I might have to resort to those type of curlers soon! I have booked an appointment at the hairdresser's, but I hope to also start work around the same time. Priorities...
ReplyDeleteThe second heron shot is superb. High marks for posing the bird just right. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the reflections of the heron!
ReplyDeleteThose selfies are hilarious! And the heron shots are just awesome! That must have been so exciting. I see that you are sort of keeping your social distance.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos all around. Funny that the heron is not fearful. We have a great blue on the river, but there is no way to get close!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like some nice shots of the fowl and the water.
ReplyDeleteLove the selfies, and that last heron picture is stunning! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat last shot of the heron is WONDERFUL! How nice to have such an acommodating model.
ReplyDeleteAn approachable heron! I want to come to Canada!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you both got great pics of the heron.
ReplyDeleteLove both the selfies. :)
WOW two selfies in a single post, you have outdone yourselves on these and I am looking forward to a hair cut appointment myself this week. That heron was a great capture and I can well imagine the close-ups the other photographer capturesd with her long lens. My knees also would not have worked well in a getting up attempt.
ReplyDeleteThe selfie of you two in curlers is my favourite so far. It made me laugh out loud -- and one can never laugh often enough! -Kate
