The distant call echoes across the water, cutting through the urban hum that never quite fades, even here by the lake's edge. I settle in for what I know could be hours of waiting, camera ready, as the early autumn light filters through the changing leaves. The lake is alive with waterfowl - coots paddling lazily, ducks diving for breakfast, herons standing sentinel in the shallows.
Time suspends as I watch this perfect predator at work, mesmerized by the way the light plays across that impossible blue plumage. Here, on the edge of urban life, nature offers its most stunning gift - a creature so beautiful it stops the world.
This moment, this bird, this breathtaking encounter - captured forever in perfect detail.
