Artist's Description
This is a picture I took at the Schuylkill River near Boat House Row in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Thanks to my brother-in-law who walked me over to where he's been seeing this majestic bird:>)
I used 2 textures from Shadowhouse Creations, did some color adjustments and transparency changes.
They are the largest of our American herons, and lightening fast when they strike out to catch themselves a meal. Watching these birds wade and hunt is a thrill. They are common and not endangered, and you may read more about them at:

About Carol Senske
I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....
