Sometimes I think that photographers, myself included, could learn a few things from Great Blue Herons. What, what could we possibly learn from a bird? I think the most important lesson is that of patience. This Heron stood still in this location for several minutes, waiting for just the right moment to poke its' beak into the water and catch some grub. The same lesson could easily be applied to our photo making process, depending on the subject matter of course.

Totally agree! Sometimes it takes hours or even days for eveything to come together; subject, light, background etc.
