The other day I was checking out a local fishing spot. It's a few miles downstream from a fish hatchery where thousands of trout were released earlier this year.With their newfound freedom the trout have little choice but to go with the flow. (A less rambunctious version here, if you're at work and can't turn your speakers up).Anyway, as soon as I got down by the water to look for some photo-ops amongst the small cascades, I was startled by the splash and wings of one ginormous bird .... It was a great blue heron.

So (like out nimble politicians), I quickly changed the subject and mounted the big zoom lens on my camera. I found a safe spot to observe this great bird going after his dinner.If you hunt or fish, you've certainly had the feeling I did capturing these photos.Its was actually very thrilling watching the action of wildlife through the lens. Capture the action on your digital camera or if you're a catch-and-release-type, bring your binoculars and your camera both when you are out and about this summer !!

I'm also working on another Capture Project. More on that next time.
