Skywatch Friday - Storm on the way


This has been the view on the way home from work for a while. It's either raining or about to rain. I pulled onto the access road on the causeway to take the picture of the rainbow. As I was snapping I stopped to chimp (yes, check to see if my pictures looked okay). I noticed the below great blue heron in front of me in the water. It looked like he had something in his mouth. I only had my small point and shoot with me so I couldn't zoom in to closely. It looks like some type of shrimp.

  2. I don't think it gets a whole lot better than this, Dina. I guess I'm going to have to start visiting our local pond (artificial, but large enough to attract herons and geese and such) in hopes of catching something more than tree rats and scruffy, heat-wasted cardinals.
    Thanks for sharing these and making the summer seem a little less oppressive.

  6. Lucky you! That rainbow so high in a dramatic dark sky looks wonderful; and the heron shots, great!
