Have a super Sunday Everyone

For this week I am going with some shots of birds to fit in with these two themes as I do find birds both beautiful and can be sublime catching one you have seen that species for a while or in lovely light

These were all taken over a few visits to Buttonwood park here in New Bedford and although I soetimes see birds inthe trees in other parts of the park, I get most of my bird shots there around the pond

I have bene w=swinging by there as often in winter some other species of birds may come ot the pond, but with the drought we had and the pond levels low for a while, there has only been the same Ducks Seagulls and Canadian geese that are there year round

Luckily we have had some good rainy days and the levels in the pond are a lot better now, I did swing by the POnd yesterday to check out if there were any new arrivals, but not yet and it was a cloudy gloomy and cold day so not sure how my shots came out will chekc them out when I get them off my computer after I finish editing and share this post

as I have probabvly said to many times when I share a photo of the herons, they sense when I am gettign close enough to get photos and quickoly fly away to another side of the pond, and this time I was able to quickly change setting and catch a shot of it flying away
