Comments on: Lunch with a Great Blue Heron http://regex.info/blog/2007-05-23/466 Not a photo blog. A personal blog with photos.

Must teach myself how to do a blog like that. Very impressive. Your blog also demonstrates a scary propensity of seeing shots like I do. I had always thought to be a little unique in what I saw and attempted to capture. having seen and admired your work, it dawned on me after seeing the photos here that we see things in a very similar fashion. When I learn the craft better and learn more about lenses, I hope to get better in the presentation aspect of it. I believe you are in the PNW and a long way from S/W Ontario, Canada, otherwise I would dearly love to arrange some time looking over your shoulder. Ah well, take what you can so for now I will enjoy my visit and not to sound repititious but sure do enjoy your work (it's not work but that is like referring to a doctor or lawyer having their practice-like when do they do it for real?) Talk later. Max Happy to have found your other hangout Jeff. Must teach myself how to do a blog like that. Very impressive. Your blog also demonstrates a scary propensity of seeing shots like I do.

These are the best close-ups of the GreatBlue that I've ever seen. You remember how skittish the ones around our lake are here at home . I remember one cold winter day when they hadn't yet left for the winter, I bought minnows at the bait shop to feed them, but the hawks and crows got them first. Now when you come home I think you should take this post and turn it into a short article with all the pictures and submit it to a magazine.(Like Birds and Blooms) <span class='jfriedl'>I'd feel better about the pictures if there were a more natural background, rather than a building. That way, the viewer might be fooled into thinking they were shots in the wild, rather than more or less zoo shots of a tamed bird. —Jeffy</span> Wow, Jeff.

I thought there was something weird about him, waiting by the door and not afraid of the customers going in and out. We ate at El Latino (Higashioji-Marutamachi nishi-iru) last summer, which is also good but expensive with small portions. For Mexican you should come back to my 'hood and eat at Speakeasy. The bartender/cook there learned to cook Mexican food while living in L.A. and does a really good job.
