“Keeper of the Wetlands”

As I glided through the waters of the Hampton River in August, my kayak’s path crossed with a great blue heron among the grasses. The heron stood tall and undisturbed, a solitary figure against the late summer greenery.

With each paddle, I moved quietly, mindful not to disturb the heron’s peaceful domain. As I passed by, I was able to swiftly get this shot with my 200mm lens! 📷

Fleeting connections with wildlife such as this really make me miss kayak adventures during the warmer months!
