<p>Happy Thursday everyone! The heat has let off for a bit here in Indiana; today was only 91 (but less humid), which actually felt pleasant compared to last week's 105 temps. I have visited a local pond a couple times this week that is home to a pair of Green Herons as well as a pair of Kingfishers, lots of Wood Ducks and a bunch of other birds. Here is one of the photos of a Green Heron. Let's see those photos!</p><div></div>

<p>Oops! Here's the image.</p><div></div>

<p>The beach bar in St Maarten.</p><div></div>

<p>Stone face.</p><div></div>

<p>Nathan, looking at the EXIF info, I can tell you, we've all been there before. I have my custom functions setup on the 7D; C1 for stationary (or slow moving) objects, and C2 for BIF. I've had more than one occasion where I mindlessly switched from a C2 subject to a C1 subject without actually changing the dial. Grrrr.</p>

<p>Robin Smith - great sunset photo!<br>

Jeff Spirer - the guy on the right looks out of place with the top of his head chopped off - almost like he was Photoshopped in later. I like the high key background.<br>

Peter Meade - I'm glad you gave a bit of background because that guy doesn't look like a horse at all. ;-) He looks happy!</p>

<p>Warning: do not try to out-stare this photo.</p>

<p>Here's one I took recently, at a restaurant in Dubai.</p><div></div>

<p>A lucky shot at the right moment .</p>

<p>I did nothing again this past week between summer school and the weather. Happily, summer school ends tomorrow so I will have my mornings back. This is a different shot of the same Least Bittern I posted a few weeks ago.</p><div></div>

<p>Go get it young fella .</p><div></div>
