how nice of you, Ross, thankyou so much for your nice comments. Really made my day : ) Am so pleased you enjoy my photos, and it's great to have another person from Canada here : )

thankyou Alex D. - as you recall, I always wanted/hoped to capture some good great blue heron shots after seeing the "GB Heron watching the sunset" image of yours, submitted here sometime ago. So am happy to finally have accomplished this, during the past summer.
