I took those photographs at Aspetuck Park in Easton, CT this past week.

I don't know when they added the mural, but I love it, especially the crescent moon. I also didn't realize this Great Blue Heron was here, until I had startled it. Luckily I got a few photos before it took flight.

I took these photographs at the Fairfield Metro Conservation Area in Fairfield, CT this past week.

I discovered this little gem of a waterfowl viewing area by accident. The trail here provides nice views of birds nesting and swimming in this section of Ash Creek, and is located across from the Fairfield Metro Train Station.

I saw a Great Blue Heron, Mergansers, Ducks, and Canadian Geese here, as well as small foraging birds. Unfortunately, I also saw graffiti.

Two of its three access points are located as follows:

Ash Creek Blvd
41.159360, -73.233465

Kenard St Parking
41.157172, -73.237089

This week's Addicted to CAS challenge was "Birds."

This is also my entry for this week's The Three Muses challenge "White Space."

This is my first time entering CAS, so I hope digital entries are allowed. (The rules didn't say they were not, but sometimes that's implied. If I wasn't supposed to enter, I apologize, and I won't enter again going forward.)

I created this using GIMP 2.10.8.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

I took this photograph at the Library River Walk in Westport, CT recently.

I like the way the sunlight reflects off of the water and onto the tree behind this Juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron. This turned out to be one of those perfect shots for me.

I took these photographs at the Reservoir in Easton, CT this past week.

The Great Blue Heron had ruffled his feathers and had a spiky porcupine look in the first photograph. I liked how the bird's colors blended with the green, yellow, and purple flower background in the second photo.
