Dailies
These images are ones shot to post in the daily community on smugmug. I've been participating in this community for about six years. For the first few years, I tried to always post a shot taken either that day or the day before. Now, although I try to shoot everyday, I don't necessarily post the images on the same day they are shot.

A female great blue heron sees her mate approaching; I watched this nest for many hours and everytime she saw her mate approaching (even before I could see him), she would assume this posture and her neck feathers would flare around her. Best viewed in the largest sizes.
Thanks for all the nice comments on my "Memory of Innisfree" image. I enjoyed creating it and I must admit it is gratifying that many of you liked it. It is hump day already. Hope you have found some beauty in your life this week. It seems to me that the beauty is everywhere around us.
