Great Blue Heron Reflected at Low Tide Toddler T-Shirt

The elegant great blue heron (Ardea herodias) stands on an exposed sand bar at low tide, keeping a sharp eye out for prey perhaps left by the retreating waters. The amazing stillness of these birds when they're on watch is seen doubly here in the full reflection mirroring the heron. The rich, low sunlight warms the plumage of the bird, the reflection, and the sand bars. These sizable wading birds are common near the shores of open water and in wetlands over most of North America and Central America, as well as the Caribbean and the Galapagos Islands.

Although much of my career had been in editing and writing, I have been delighted for some time to concentrate on both photography and artistic creations based on photography. Through this medium I thoroughly enjoy the world, from city to suburb to country, from my roots in the US Midwest to fascinating Florida, to Ohio, where I now live. My artistic interests are eclectic. Much engages me. I hope my art will please and engage you as well.
