Another rough day at work...

[SARtech]

As some of you may know, other than my full-time job during the week, I also work part-time on Sundays as a Security Guard at a barge terminal. Most of the property is like a forest preserve! Nothing to do but "patrol" the grounds.

This Sunday, I captured what to me, was a very rare sight. 5, yes 5 herons in one tree. When I first saw them I was too far away to get a good shot. What a sight! My heart was pounding I think as I very slowly started walking towards them, shooting every now and then as I got closer and closer. I got pretty darn close before, one by one, they left. The one on the right though just stayed... looking at me! I was even talking to him. LOL
He was relaxed enough at first to even take a stretch. I got tons of photos, but here are the most interesting.

I swear, this Sunday job removes all the crazy stress from the week, and my worries about my finances and my possible looming foreclosure disappear; at least for the time I am shooting. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them.
