Had to stick close to home due to commitments today, so decided to
visit the Open Space ponds. Upshot is that there is a lot going
on close to home.

First we've got a Green Heron

2nd is a Black-Crowned Night Heron

And last, but not least, is the owner of the pond, Snappy

Thanks Bill and Dan. Had to wait some time before the sun caught the BCNH's eye right.

I traveled on Dry Creek from 128th down to 104th.

Those are some great shots, good for you for finding the beauty close to home.

Nice stuff, Jeremy! I like them all, but the lighting on #2 really caught my eye.

These are great!

Very nice! I like both #'s 1 and 2. Never overlook the possibilities in your home turf!!

I also like #1 and 2. Great comps and light. Thanks for sharing.

The BCNH shot is killer with the dark BG and excellent comp.

I like #1 the best because of the feather detail, but #2 is great as well
