Luck of the Draw

This morning absolutely nothing was happening at the Ponds. Then Bob T and I came upon a Great Blue Heron on the trail. I knew that, sooner or later, she/he would take off. I was ready. And took two pictures. One of them was out of focus. Here's the other one., I never saw the two Mallards, or their reflection, until they popped up on the screen at home.

 

And the moral of the story is ~~ never despair!
