A single, solitary heron . . .

. . . amidst a flock of Canadian Geese. What was he thinking, I wonder?

I used my Sports mode on this, and the camera overexposed the heron just a bit. I took mattafoto's advice from the last bird shot and burned the beak and other high-lit spots in this image. I think it was an improvement - so thanks for the idea! :-)

"Solitary man"

Hiking can be a solitary activity, even when you are with someone else. We were about halfway up Wheeler Peak at this point. For once, I was ahead of Jon.
