Great Blue Herons nested in the trees along the banks of lakes in my neighborhood, so I spent the nesting season watching them build their nests and then followed the chicks when they hatched. "Like a Painting" is of a juvenile great blue heron strengthneing its wings at the top of a tree in the golden hour light of sunset.
