It has been a week of herons (232/365)

I like taking pictures of herons, because they stand very still and are therefore easy to photograph without having the thousands of pounds' worth of camera kit you need to photograph faster birds (a zoom lens helps a lot, though). This week, I have taken three lots of heron pictures: in the pond in the Parks on my way to work on Monday morning; in the pond in the Parks on my lunchtime walk on Wednesday (probably the same heron as Monday's); by the river when I was swimming today.

My favourite was this picture of Wednesday's heron, where the backdrop of weedy pond and reflected foliage has ended up looking like Monet's garden.
