Some very nice shots. And very good light. This looks a lot like one of my regular spots, over around the closed fishing pear in Slidell.

Thanx for all the comments. I didn't have a good angle on the Green Heron, but I've never had one get that close to me, so I grabbed a few shots.

This was in Bay St. Louis, where a small bayou goes under Beach Blvd. to get to the gulf.
