Waiting

A quiet mist envelopes a statuesque heron waiting for the decisive moment
to strike its prey. Camouflage, calm and patience are the way of life for such
a ninja hunter as this one.

    It used to be believed that herons had a special substance which they produced in their legs which attracted fish! They don't of course; it's just a matter of patience!

    Nice! I love the way the reflections almost look more substantial than the trees.
