I arrived at Ballard Park in Melbourne, Florida one morning after dropping my wife off at work.

This great blue heron was on a post in the Eau Gallie River and he stood here for a solid forty five minutes grooming himself.

I took photos of him and walked away and every time I came back by he was still there.

I ended up getting a lot of really good shots of this guy.

These are two of my favorites of him from that day.
