I enjoy taking pictures of all types of wildlife. I like exploring the Delaware shores, as you never know what you will encounter. On this morning I decided to go to Bombay Hook. I watched the egrets and herons as they gathered together. It was amazing to see them interact with each other. Then this great blue heron landed in front of me and took a step forward with its wings spread out. I knew I had an amazing shot and called it “The Dance” because it looked so graceful.
