Monomad Challenge -- The Heron

This is my entry for the March 22 #monomad challenge.

I took this shot of the heron from Simpson Avenue Bridge in Hoquiam, Wash., last fall.

I had planned to use it as my submission for the 2019 promotional calendar published by Dunsire Printers of Aberdeen, Wash., but as the submission deadline approached, I realized the photo was taken at a lower resolution than their guidelines requested.

I ended up rushing out at the last minute to get another calendar photo (which they published, so it worked out), and I rediscovered the heron while looking for a pic to illustrate my new short story, “The Buck.”

Here’s another look at the scene, with a colorsplash.

Goodbye for now!
