Lucky Shot

Well, it’s not so lucky, because I did make sure I had a camera when we went for an early morning walk while camping near the Erie-Miami Canal in Ohio recently. I’ve always wanted a good picture of a Blue Heron, but have never before been in the right place at the right tine with the right camera. This shot is taken with my little but powerful Nikon point and shoot. Its normal 3.5x optical zoom goes to 14x in the digital zoom mode.
