I was trying for a close-up for stone, but so far I'm mostly learning how weak my camera is for macro shots, or how bad I am at using it for them. It takes a lot of finesse so far to make it take one.

But I have a dreams one I like.

After eyeing a Black-crowned Night Heron through binoculars for several minutes, I turned around and holy crap! There was one preening in a palm right in front of me. There were some stairs across from it, so I decided to quietly walk up them, turning back if the heron looked agitated.

The heron went to sleep.

Personally, I am very glad not to have to sleep standing on one leg on a swaying palm frond, but the heron seemed quite happy.
