Still

I went in search of the heron I've seen at the Brickworks ponds the last few times I"ve been there. Each time, dog in tow, camera a couple kms away at home, a small heron has stood happily 10 feet away pulling fish out of the pond. This time, no dog, with camera, I see a heron, this one a big one ("blue" likely), but at the same time that three other photographers see it, perched beautifully on a railing facing into early sun. All three other photographers find it importnt to exclaim to each other that they've spotted the BIRD which promptly drags itself airborne and is away -- leaving me with several blurry too distant shots; the others struggling to get their lens caps off.

It was the stilless day I've experienced in a very long time so at least this spiderweb sat still for its photograph. Without absolutely any wind, of course, my macro lens was at home, such is my luck.
