Photo opportunities just present themselves and the subjects oftentimes aren’t what you are looking for. Such was the case with this image.
I was at Metzger Farm in Broomfield, Colorado take pictures of a blue heron rookery. Unfortunately the images of the herons I took were underwhelming but sunset provided other opportunities.
While taking pictures of the gorgeous sunset to the west, this Canada goose came swimming across the rippled surface of a pond. It was perfectly backlit and the water was reflecting the orange sky above.
