Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
Very delicate. But what bird is that? I am on a train so not able to meander over to the bird-book shelf. Love the spindly legs.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a blue Heron to me. I love his little foot lifting off. A super clear shot.
ReplyDeleteI like how you captured the bird in action. Just as good as capturing one in flight.
ReplyDeleteLove his neck feathers :D)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous image, Joan! Great capture.
ReplyDeleteAccording to my sources, it's a White-necked Heron (previously called Pacific Heron). Such a beautiful line of neck, wing and leg!
ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful... great capture.
