52 Photographs - Week 29

On Tuesday I thought I had the photo of the week. A wonderful image of a Carolina Chickadee just outside the front door up in a tree. I thought there’s no way I can top that. (See previous post.)

Was I wrong. Saturday morning I saw a Green Heron at Manchester Meadows Park. I’ve photographed one before at Nygren Wetlands in northern Illinois. This was the first I’ve seen here and was quite a surprise.

I wasn’t able to get very close to it and it was a dark, grey day so I had to up the ISO and use Topaz Photo AI when I processed the image. And I was very happy with the result.
