Tricolored Heron

 

While visiting Florida back in 2010 we stopped at the Black Point Wildlife Drive Refuge, which is part of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.  This Tricolored Heron was one of many many birds we saw on our trip.

And while I am on the topic of birds....I am thrilled to have seen my  Eastern Bluebird pair returning last night checking out the birdhouses.  I hope this year to get some better photos.

 I am really enjoying this photo.  It almost has a painterly quality to it.  I was going through some old photos and came across this one and I worked it in photoshop alittle adding some contrast, then added Flypaper Textures and this is the end result.  The flypaper textures I used were..beowulf overlay, muscatel soft light, peach blush soft light and fly 18 multiply.
