Lift-off

 

Heron making the strike

 

Poor little sunfish

 

I love her wet, fluffy, textured feathers ~

 

Burp ~

 

Good night.

 

Quiet, peaceful evening on the lake

The osprey heading west, feastless ~

 

"I see you!"

 

 

 

Reflections

 

Love the wavy reflection

 

 

 

 

Visitors from Altoona, Pa., out for an evening cruise

 

Look at the colour variations on his head ~ spectacular, for a non-breeding-mode drake!

Coming right at me ~

 

 

Quack Quack! It's about time you got here!

 

Heading off into the sunset

 

What a difference when they move out of the shadows ~
