Blue Heron on Far Bank

Heron on Far Bank - Pikesville, MDDruid Ridge Cemetery in Pikesville is a nice place to visit on a sunny Sunday morning - well, not the dead people's part, but the large duck pond on the edge of the grounds.

The pond has a large permanent population of various kinds of ducks and geese. Like much of the mid-Atlantic, formerly migratory Canada geese have made a permanent home here.

If you get here early enough, you may luck out and spot a blue heron who also makes his home here.

This place is only about a half-mile from my mom's place, so I've been bringing my camera whenever I go to see her, in case I have a few minutes to stop and see my feathered friends.

The heron is nicely illuminated here, and the foreground gives the shot an impressionistic feel.

BTW, Steve, I haven't forgotten about sending you the gear. I've been hideously busy lately and I have not had a chance to put the stuff together yet.

Thanks, Warren.

About the gear - no problemo! Whenever it arrives is fine - it'll be when I don't expect it and brighten up my day ;-)
