As the angle of the sun lowers in September, I have always liked the range of textures and forms that marsh grass takes, as though a painter has been at work on the canvas.

A little tumble of water in the Mousam River at Roger’s Pond Park.

Great Blue Heron and Goldenrod: Kennebunk Bridle Path, Kennebunk, Maine, USA, September 2024 — The heron standing way out across the water meadow among the Goldenrod that boarders the little unnamed tidal creek that cuts the marsh looks more ornimental than functional…a landscape accent more than the subject of the photo…and that is exactly as intended. (It was too far away for a portrait anyway.) Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
