Altered + heron

Altered = the shape of my day. School hols means I can swim every day for a week at 5.00pm and be almost guaranteed to have the pool to myself. And so it was. Bliss.

Altered = my state after swimming a mile, drifting in the steam room for half an hour and spending much of last night in the loo.

I had not even thought about taking pictures all day and quite forgot that this temporary swim time coincides with sunset, so it was dark when I came home.

A solitary heron was basking in moonlight but showed up as a grey blob with my camera/skill level. My altered state had me standing there, warm from the inside out, seeing what the camera could see without me trying. Pretty light bokeh sort of stuff and then the heron flew off craiking loudly, making me jump and shoogling the image even more.

I like that the heron got in the shot anyway.
