Great Blue Heron

Great Blue Heron, Caddo Lake

 I am starting to get a bit excited about going back to Caddo Lake in early April. Not much gets better then cruising on a pontoon boat through the swamps looking for images. When you see something the motor gets shut down and you drift about waiting for the boat to settle down enough to get a decent shutter speed to counteract the movement of the water - no tripods out here.

I learned a good deal last time at Caddo Lake that I hope to put to use this next visit...Also need to mention the really good down-home BBQ just down the road.

PS: Sometimes a simple image will speak a great deal about a place -  Caddo Lake has an eerie calm about it........
