As night falls the sentinel hunts darkening waters...
I hope you enjoyed the viewing... Have a great day!
@Eric Fry: Thanks, Eric.
@Mary: Thanks much... and I managed NOT to fall into the water when taking it....

Not only do you guys get great pics of these critters but you can do so as night falls . . sigh, I'm just unlucky, I guess . .

@Ronnie 2¢: Just shoot away and you're bound to get a good one... I had three things in my favor -- no wind, a very still subject, and I didn't fall into the water.

Great capture with the detail seen in its wings. I almost thought it was underwater.

So tranquil, you can almost feel the stillness of the air and water.
