I saw this Great Blue Heron at Longwood Gardens -
it was easy to photograph as it barely moved a muscle.
A crowd had gathered around the pond he was "fishing" in,
I expected him to fly off but he stayed put and seemed to enjoy the attention.
I have never before seen a Heron in this pond at Longwood Gardens.
In my lifetime, I have never seen a Heron so comfortable,
in the presence of so many people.

Nice photos.
He never got spooked because he is professional model. ;)
It's gorgeous Debbie !! You made some great photos,
Good weekend.
Besos.
Well, Debbie, that's because you're the Bird Whisperer... those beautiful Swans passed the word on and your reputation precedes. Hugs :D)xx
Beautiful photos, Debbie. The brilliant orange on its lower beak is unexpected but beautiful
Beautiful and one of my favorites as you know! He/she is a juvenile, too. Some herons develop a tolerance for people (like at parks or busy lakes) while others never seem to.
Don't you love his beak and tongue!
They are really cool, aren't they.
Great opportunity Debbie for fantastic shots! He played the role perfectly!
I rarely ever see them outside of zoos
Gorgeous! I really enjoy your photos, Debbie. Always so clear and outstanding.

If he inhabits the gardens often, he is probably used to the people.
We have 4 Sand Cranes that live year around here in the park. They aren't a bit afraid of us or our cars.
What a beauty!
I think they are such majestic looking creatures.
xo.
Isn't nature grand??!!
That is amazing! How nice to be there at just the right time to get such great photos!
Hello, Debbie! Your heron photos are beautiful. Great closeups. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
Amazing pictures. I need to send the Herons from around here, over there to get lessons in people skills.They take off as soon as I slow down the cargos not very many good shots for me.
They are a favorite of mine and you sure captured the beauty!
Wonderful, he is so beautiful :-)
As always you got some great shots of this unique bird. I really don't think I have ever personally seen one in this area. His colors are beautifl and you captured some great close-ups. Way to go girl! Hugs~
Very cool shots and neat to catch him with his mouth open. It is amazing how they get use to having people around in these gardens! Looks like it was a beautiful day to enjoy the garden!
Lovely photos. Happy sunday Debbie!
He stand still.
Like a mushroom.
I guess they're as variable as humans. so like a crowd, and then there's ... me. :)
I have been wanting to visit Longwood Gardens for years! You are so fortunate for being able to photograph this beautiful Blue Herron. I am glad he stayed for you so you could share!
He's a beauty and your photos of him are wonderful.
He is an absolute beauty - and so relaxed.
Wonderful photographs
All the best Jan
