White Heron

A white heron alighted on the swimming pool fence, outside the study window, earlier today. I rushed to get my camera, and then lightly, ever so lightly, started opening the back screen door. Not wanting to startle the bird, of course.

I got the door completely open without scaring the heron, but then, as I was zooming in, the bird started to fly away. The camera clicked, although I wasn't a hundred percent sure whether I had got the best shot, but I may have a heron in flight. Which would be nice. Only thing is, with a film camera, I have to wait until developing to see whether it worked - bring on the digital age...

I was getting advice and quotes from about four stores in the city for digital cameras. Have whittled down the options to five, perhaps six, from which I will pick one later this week - bring on Digital Camera Idol, indeed...
