"SMOKIN' IT"
Great Blue Heron - 4 Photos
As anyone living currently in Alberta is aware (and Manitoba as well at the moment), the smoke which has pushed into the province from the forest fires in British Columbia is extremely dense.
Although the weather conditions are reported as "sunny", with the smoke levels, the days appear overcast. (With the red sun in the morning and the red moon at night, you can almost imagine what it must be like on Mars.)
Just a quick photo trip produced some unusual lighting for this Great Blue Heron, who after a brief fishing expedition, kindly flew towards me to allow for some close up flight shots. The White Balance mode on the camera does not, unfortunately, have a "smoke" setting so "cloudy" was the setting of choice!
