GBH #2
GBH #3
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to non-human creatures and beings. It talking about what the cats are thinking or the birds doing and translating the behavior by attributing human motivations and feelings. Well that’s I was doing with the first image here (GBH #2). This was the final photograph that I took of this Great Blue Heron last evening. His look struck me as priceless. First, is there any question that he knew I was there? I think not. And second, is there any question that the look says “Enough already! You can leave now!” So I slowly got up and left the stream bank.
The second image (GBH #3) is just a classic Heron pose made a little earlier in the evening and done as a horizontal composition.
This will bring an end to this GBH series. Hope you enjoyed the images.

What beautiful photos of that bird! So far I’ve not had any luck at all getting close enough to one of them for a decent photo! You did so well!
