Mirror, mirror what do I see? A great blue heron on top and bottom

I don’t know that I have ever captured a more perfect reflection of any subject matter. This gorgeous heron was hanging out at a pond at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge last weekend.

Despite being close to the road, it didn’t flinch at all when I stopped, remaining totally motionless. Beautiful weather with no wind meant the surface of the water was like a mirror reflecting the heron.

I snapped dozens of pics and compositions, liking this one the best.
