Social Distancing: Don't Stand So Close To Me

Keep Your Distance

Before 8 this morning this photo was taken and it would be a good two hours before I got home.

Along the way, I had lots of time to think of a title but, it wasn't easy.

With that Coronavirus thing going around, everybody seems to be in a panic.

So, I got the idea, to look on YouTube and see if I could find a tune for this image.

How's this sound?

Black-crowned Night Heron Photo of the Week

Early in the Morning

It took a few days of waking up before 4 AM to walk to where this character could be seen.

Sunday, I captured a photo of one flying in a white sky on a day it would rain.

Monday, the image would show you where birds poop comes from.

Yesterday, I stood in one location for two hours and not one Night Heron showed up.

Today, at a little past 7 AM this Heron AKA Goisagi (ゴイサギ) flew overhead.

The position the photo was taken from was near the entrance to Kin Blue Beach.

Closer to the Night Heron: Another Bird Photo

Extremely Shy Adult Night Heron

 

 

Tonight, I got close enough to capture a fairly decent shot.

The bird heard the camera clicking and, flew off leaving me with 3 snaps of the shutter.

This heron lives back near the end of a stream flowing towards the sea.

A few more meters of, cutting a trail through the jungle and, I'll be in there with him.

Not that, I want to shake hands or, anything like that.

Just to be peeking over his shoulder when he grabs a fish, is all I want.

This photo was taken with the Pentax K3 and a 300mm with a 1.4 converter at
